Avino Announces Concentrates Prepayment Agreement with Samsung C&T
July 09, 2015
Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (ASM: TSX.V, ASM: NYSE – MKT; “Avino” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a concentrates prepayment agreement with Samsung C&T U.K. Ltd. (“Samsung”).
Pursuant to the prepayment agreement, Avino will sell Avino Mine concentrates on an exclusive basis to Samsung for a period of 24 months. Samsung agreed to make available to Avino USD$10 million for prepayment of such concentrates.”
Great Avino news! I will buy Avino shares when they fall below 1 usd. Im not that good in technicals but i think Avino has good value right now. How far down do you think they will fall this summer?
Blue, interesting stock and thanks for alerting me to it. It appears on the technicals it has a chance to challenge the low of $.75 touched in July of 2013. However, I believe it may not reach that until later in the fall of this year.
Thanks Doc, I appreciate you had the time to answer. I think Avino has strong future ahead. The share has been my favourite mining stock since Sprott got involved in the stock a couple of years ago. Since then Avino has expanded and been stronger even it has been a mining bear market. They have even invested in a gold mine called Bralorne Gold mine in the middle of this bear market.

Yes Avino is an older mine that has been given a new lease on life, and I believe this company is turning into a great turn-around story. They used to have the Bralorne asset, then spun it off, and now have acquired it back. I think it is also interesting what they are going to do processing all those tailings at their Avino mine.
Here is their First Quarter results Doc as I think you were on vacation when we had a nice discussion about Avino.

Shad, reading some of your posts leads me to believe you are invested heavily in the resource sector but your money is exposed to these markets, that could leave you very vulnerable. DT
I appreciate the concern DT, but I am just sharing companies that I think will do well once the metals markets recover. The only company above I currently have a position in is Rye Patch, but I’m watching the other ones and thought people may like to evaluate some of these earnings reports, mergers, or key news briefs.
Cheers.
Gold bugs are an elusive breed of creature these days. Like the Sasquatch. We keep hearing rumours of them being out there waiting in the sticks but hardly anyone sees one anymore and they sure are quiet at dinner parties anymore!
Funny…..the elusive Sasquatch…..
Maybe he has marketing contracts.
Funny. Nope, I’m just an individual investor heathen.
Can’t recall who it was anymore but I always got a good chuckle from that guy who would claim “My portfolio is diversified, I bought silver AND gold miners”. 🙂
Agreed. It can be very risky to put all your eggs in one basket, and it is important to be diversified across different sectors and asset classes.
Personally, I have a retirement account full of mutual funds and a small bond allocations, but in my trading account, I have focused on commodities and energy. I follow and trade agricultural companies & EFTs (did well with JJA today for example), fertilizer companies, gold, silver, platinum & palladium, base metals, specialty metals, uranium, lithium, oil, some nat gas, solar, wind, green energy, and energy conservation companies. In addition, I also still trade ETFs for a sector like XLV for Health care, or IBB for Biotech, or SPXS or SPXL to play the leveraged S&P, or TZA to short the Russell 2000, or TLT/TBT to go long/short bonds, etc…..
Just silver and gold miners is not really “diversified”, and is very high risk.
Since there is a big interest in precious metals and the related miners on this site, I just a few people may be interested in some of the press releases above.
Good luck to all in their investing, whatever their strategies are.
Maloney.
Yup. That’s who it was.
The Canadian dollar still looks like it has a date with .75 or just a few hairs under so there is time yet before commodities show bullishness. Same thing with AUD (the Ozzie) which looks like we can project a low of .70 at a minimum before strength returns. But we could easily be talking early 2016 before either of those numbers are hit.
Seems reasonable to me bird.
If I am not mistaken, Bird no longer posts here.
based on your discussions, the time you post, and your accurate calls on the Canadian dollar I figured you were one in the same.
Cheers.
It’s Bird, Shad.
Btw, I picked up more SPM and a few others today. GDX has a gap to fill from 11/6/14 and hopefully GDXJ will fill today’s gap tomorrow. Either way, the miners are very close to a bottom.
Also picked up FELP today well below $10. It was recommended by a well known newsletter just weeks ago above $14. Glad I waited. 14% div…
Yes I’ve been watching Americas Mining, but have not taken a position back. I sold most of my position in early May, and the remaining part in late June. It’s one of the first ones I’m picking up once I see how the next few weeks play out.
I did pick up one mining share this week and that was (MUX) McEwen Mining. I’ve swing traded it in the past, but have watched it falling for the last year and wrote Silverdollar back yesterday but on Rick A’s Tuesday blog real time that I was going back in:

Shad says:
“Maybe I’m a sucker, but I just took out a position in McEwen Mining Silverdollar.
MUX – 03:42:26
Bought position @ $0.8056
It looks oversold enough for me to average into it, but if it pops back tomorrow I’m selling it right back for a profit.”

______________________________
BTW – I jumped up to $.86 but I was stuck in business meetings and had a limit order set for $.88. Now it’s back down to $.83.
Matthew – what are your thoughts on MUX?
So FELP huh…..I gotta admit that I don’t follow the coal space to closely. You’re typically a great stock picker though, so I’m sure you getting a great value as it was $20, and yes I see the fall from $14, so you’re getting much better value and access to that dividend at $10. Thanks for the heads up man. Great work!
I don’t follow MUX closely but I think you will do very well with it based on what you paid.
Thanks Matthew. Good luck to you sir.
Thanks Shad and good luck to you, too.
Well I should have sold the gains yesterday in the $.86-$.84 area (but was swamped with business meetings and it didn’t reach my limit order). Now MUX has dipped down lower, and I’m underwater….Ahhhh! Oh well…..
You’ll be fine! (I know you agree.)
Thanks. I know they’re under pressure from the NYSE listing rules since they’re under $1, but Rob McEwen also personally owns 25% of the stock himself (and doesn’t take a salary), so he’ll look for a solution that get’s the share price up (likely without too much dilution).
A LISTENER EQUAL BIRD??????????????
is bb the heathen???????????
Yes & yes.
I wondered where bb was, the tag team duo are joined at the hip.
thanks Matthew………… too funny…………
What a hoot…………. bb the heathen…………..lol
Yup, frank, bb is now heathen, had to start calling myself heathen after HH did.
I wondered where that name came from bb, but forgot about that. funny.
But the Listener is not Birdman. We are not the same person. Thank you anyway for the kind compliment.
Nice try.
funny.
I feel that silver is trying to break free. Someone is holding it down but it is getting tough to refrain it.
There is a healthy short position in Silver, but if it did break free, the short covering may give it a nice pop. Personally I still think it may have further to fall in the next few weeks, but like that it got out of the mid $14s and into the mid $15s the last few days.
Not sure what “healthy” means. It is healthy only if shorts possess the metal. Silver is way under the production cost which is driving miners to 0 or even bankruptcy. It is very unhealthy. No industry can sustain long term money losing, especially when the producers can no longer raise money.
An unusually large short position is “healthy” particularly when the shorts do not possess the metal because they will have to buy to cover.
I agree with Morris:
http://www.superforcesignals.com/video/2015july9goldsilver/2015july9goldsilver.html
I understand US government’s desire to make $US and market the ONLY safe haven but twisting the markets to extreme will destroy the empire. If derivatives fail, regardless how small a chance, it is in unrecoverable and the market will move to the extreme opposite direction. Derivatives were invented by Canadian bank but quickly acquired by US financial industry since they saw a perfect weapon to control financial market. Since it could have 100:1 leverage or more, it potentially magnify the impact hundred times. So you may win every battle and feel you are invincible and take it to extreme. Any small disturbance will cause the collapse. It seems Western financial industry is addicted on this power. However, silver and gold are physical. This is the limitation.
Great video from Morris Hubbartt. I check out his thoughts every week, and like his analysis, and agree that we may be gearing up for a PM upswing, but from a larger perspective we are just whipsawing back and forth in that wedge.
It was nice that he went over and plugged 321gold.com as well, and their seasonality charts for Gold/Silver.
Good stuff and thanks for posting it Matthew.
US only produce 40 mil ounces silver a year. Most should be sold in LBMA. Even adding other countries production it should be less than 50 mil ounces a year. Now the short position is over 1 billion in COMEX. COMEX has a delivery limit. It could drive price lower but a paper exchange will fail to set price when the physical premium goes up a lot. If they don’t deliver silver, it could set the price to be one cent but it loses pricing power once the delivery is hindered.
Yeah, bad choice of words on my part… There is a “substantial” short position, but, this could reverse into a near-term short-covering rally. My view is just that if there was a small silver rally, that it would be used to crush any new bullish enthusiasm back down further into late July and possibly early August. I’m mostly watching, but have few smaller positions still on in the Jr miners.
Good luck to you in your investing Lawrence.
Thanks for the clarification Shad. Problem for silver is that it is like Chinese stock market, you don’t know when it will jump. I got the experience in 2010-2011. You think that it has peaked and sell some, it just defy you prediction and getting higher, fast. Very naughty. I sold all my silver wheaton in $16-20 and it went to $45. Similar with all my PM stocks. I kept SVM and it peaked at 16 and now it is 1.2.
(All in Canadian $).
Yes, Silver is the restless metal, and it is a wild ride. That is what I like about it, because there are great opportunities in Silver’s mood swings, but it is easy to get faked out, stopped out, or freaked out trading the Silver miners 🙂
Shad, if you look at the last year or so, it is very tame, Extremely stable with only daily spikes.
I picked up even more SPM at .20 today and more FELP in the 9.50s.
SVM hits my low ball price yesterday at @ 1.21 Cnd. This is the only PM stock I has bought this year.
That’s another one that I don’t follow but the risk/reward profile looks very good. You just might have timed it perfectly.
