Why does Eric Sprott own stock in Honey Badger Silver?
Honey Badger Silver is an attractive stock thanks to having given back 60 per cent year-over-year, and 62.55 per cent over the past five years, despite providing exposure to projects with clear upside:
- The Sunrise Lake project in the Northwest Territories houses a historic resource of 12.8 million ounces (Moz) of silver indicated and 13.9 Moz of silver inferred
- The high-grade Plata silver project resides 165 kilometres east of Yukon’s prolific Keno Hill district, which is home to Hecla Mining’s (NYSE:HL) producing Keno Hill mine, and is adjacent to Snowline Gold’s (TSXV:SGD) Rogue discovery, which has sampled up to 95.3 g/t gold
- The Clear Lake project in the Yukon features a historic resource of 5.5 Moz of silver and 1.3 billion pounds of zinc
- Honey Badger Silver also owns significant land holdings in Nunavut that produced more than 20 Moz of silver between 1976 and 2002, in addition to two other Yukon-based projects
With silver expected to have a strong 2024 thanks to rising industrial demand, Sprott seeing a path for silver to 8x to US$200, and the gold-silver ratio around 85, well ahead of the long-run average of 65 since the 1970s, Honey Badger’s presence in districts with rich histories offers an abundance of catalysts to outperform silver, should the metal start to climb.
Honey Badger Silver is a silver exploration company backed by a highly experienced management team with a track record of value creation.
Honey Badger Silver stock (TSXV:TUF) last traded at C$0.08 per share.
