Silver market macro fundamentals and an update from SilverCrest Metals

July 28, 2020

Chris Ritchie, President of SilverCrest Metals (TSX:SIL – NYSE:SILV) joins me for a discussion on the macro environment for the silver sector. We compare the value of precious metals to stocks and bonds while also touching on global asset allocation.

In terms of silver fundamentals the estimated demand for silver ETFs has already been hit in the first half of this year. This is showing the increase in interest in the sector as well as the types of investors that are coming in.

When it comes to SilverCrest Metals I have Chris outline the exploration that is ongoing balanced with the possibility of moving into production.

Please email me with any follow up questions for Chris regarding SilverCrest or the general silver market. My email is Fleck@kereport.com.

    Silver’s macro funny-mentals are superb.

    If I were hearing Chris right, Production is minimally 2 years off

      Yes, he mentioned Silvercrest was targeting production for 2022. I was thinking it was slated for next year, so that does seem further off than anticipated.

      It looks like the next 3 Silver producers are going to be Alexco, Mag Silver, and Aurcana who are all planning on being in production next year.

      Bayhorse is a smaller Silver developer using oresorting to upgrade their ore, and they also may make it into production in 2021.

        I was pleasantly surprised at how astute Chris R. was in macro economics and the drivers of the bonds, equities, and precious metals, and felt he had as good of commentary on the markets as most of the other guests that come on as market pundits. Very nice getting his insights.

    2 years seems like an eternity

      At least rising silver will keep SILV rising for those two years (unless it is currently way overvalued).

    Silv will be sold to major that will take it to production (FM comes to mind). They are maximzing drilling to increaee mcap and sale value.
