RE:RE:RE:Reverse Split Moemoney42,
I don't think there is any skulduggery going on, and Americas Silver is underpriced by the market because it has a history of being a high priced silver producer, and it takes time to turn that perception around. The same is true about Orvana Minerals which trades around $1000 USD in market cap per ounce of quarterly gold production. Americas Silver trades about 5 times that valuation.
Americas Silver has survived this down turn in the metals market with two strategies: cost cutting and merger and acquisition. Back in 2014, when the company merged with Scorpio Mining to become the new Scorpio Mining, USGIF stockholders received 1.68 shares of Scorpio Mining (SMNPF) for each share of USGIF that they held, and Scorpio Mining shareholders kept their shares, with the combined stock float increasing.
Prior to the merger USGIF was trading at $2530 USD per ounce of gold equivalent production and was ranked #34, while after the merger the valuation of the combined company rose to $4200 USD per ounce of gold equivalent production in spite of the fact that the combined entity produced almost 18,000 gold equivalent ounces. So that was a successful merger, and I owned both stocks at the time, so I am familiar with the history. After the merger, one of the redundent set of corporate overhead was eliminated and Americas Silver management made some very dramatic cuts in the cost of production.
Given that M&A history, the thought has crossed my mind that Darren Blasutti and his management team may be getting ready to do it again.
