Fluctuating commodity prices and inflation.
What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?
Silver prices have had a disappointing return year to date as they are down approximately 20%. Whereas earlier in the year many other commodities prices either hit a new all time high, or moved significantly higher on the back of inflation and supply chain concerns. In times of inflation historically precious metal prices have moved higher.
Recently the stock was trading at multi-year lows. Offering an enticing entry point for investors.
Furthermore, the Company boasts an industry leading production growth profile with the potential to reach 50 million silver equivalent ounces per year. In addition, exponential revenue and earnings growth is anticipated over the next few years positioning shareholders to capitalize on the rising price of silver.
