Sprott playing for Silver Valley consolidation?
Recently USA sold Eric Sprott 40% equity interest in Galena complex. Sprott is leading $15mm private placement for Bunker Hill mine, to west of Galena. Bunker hill now focusing on silver production drilling out historic high grade silver in mine...12 level 5 ft of 98opt silver and 7 feet 28.4 ft silver for example. Bunker hill need Galena mill to process ore This PP mean Sprott will end up with large equity interest in Bunker Hill mine due to all the free warrents Sprott get for doing financing. New mgmt at Bunker Hill mine are old buddies of Darren from Barrick Gold. Chairman at Bunker Hill is Barrick alumni and former SAS Regimental commander. CEO is former Barrick GM and former manager of Barrick Nevada Cortez mine as well as current Barrick envoy to Tanzania who negotiated the deal between Tanzania and ABX. This CEO is also a Sprott peep who managed Sprott cash cow Jerritt canyon mine that Sprott gushes about weekly on his podcast. In past on podcast Sprott has mentioned he think USA Galena and HL Lucky Friday need to be merged for cost savings...unsuccessful past HL hostile bid for USA was to combine Galena and Lucky Friday so as to cut overhead and AISC at both mines.

Interesting thought. Maybe that is his plan. There is a few famous names invested in USA, I can't imagine they are there for small potatoes. Bigger is better.

I think you just hit the nail on the head... the highlighted portion of your post is the reason people would sell and move on... with gold and silver at multi year highs and USA can't even get to a level it was at 3 years ago..!! While many other PM stocks have performed great.. maybe people are just fed up with the no updates and constant under performance..?

PM stocks are not showing good price action for last 2 days. Even though gold is up 50 bucks and silver up 3-4 dollars, most stocks have not budged but actually gone down slightly. what gives? Topped out for now? Or loads of people taking profits. I don't know but price action overall is concerning given that gold and silver prices are trending higher.

A lot of miners are starting to report. Perhaps their operating performance isn't keeping pace with the price of the metals ?
