tic tic tic AUN tic tic tic While traditionally junior miners are identified as companies that spend money instead of making it, a number of silver juniors, such as Alexco Resource (AMEX:AXU,TSX:AXR) and Aurcana (TSXV:AUN, OTCQX:AUNFF), have set themselves apart by generating revenue. Alexco, for instance, operates the Bellekeno silver mine in Canada’s Yukon Territory, while Aurcana produces silver from its Shafter mine at the US-Mexican border.
And, although safety is a priority for many investors right now, return on capital is, for most people, the ultimate motive for investing, especially in junior mining.
The PricewaterhouseCoopers 2012 Gold Price Report says that goldcompanies could provide something very appealing to investors that other financial products such as ETFs can’t, and that is dividends. It is usually taken for granted that discussions about dividends apply to majors, but there are juniors that set themselves apart from the crowd by rewarding their investors in that way. Those companies in the silver space that have revenue streams or are looking forward to them may want to consider this possibility and put themselves in the place of the increasingly cautious investor. In a low-interest-rate environment, silver juniors that manage to pay dividends certainly sweeten the deal.
