RE: Comments on silverThere's risk with any silver miner who's mine is not yet in production. IMO, there is too much unwarranted fear about China in comparison to some S. American countries which have a long history of mining. This fear, IMO, is mostly from lack of knowledge of China, fear of the unknown. China has every reason to want SVM to go into production and do so successfully. Additionally, the CEO is a native born Chinese, and has previously put mines into production in China.
Don't take this as choosing SVM over SLW. I hold both, and one shouldn't put all eggs in just one basket. SLW is the safest and surest way to play silver equities, SVM offers near term production of unusually rich ore grade. IMO, one should hold both.
