Rising Silver Prices Have Made Silvercorp Metals a Very Valuable Equity

Boing x 2 Boing x 2 4 days ago
I hope Lon or someone from SVM reads this board.

Andrew McGuire, from Live From the Vault, just said silver should be at 200.00 right now. He further said breech of the 50 buck level and silver goes parabolic. He further sates gold valued under 3K is grossly undervalued.

We need to tie down New Pacific Metals with their million of ounces of silver and gold as well as Omai before the above happens.

Andrew has been spot on with his recent silver price break out over 26.25. It is cheaper to hit 51 percent ownership now then when the above happens.

Ok, here goes.

The Orecorp deal is closed in Sydney. It was a bad deal for the major shareholders who pressed for the all cash deal. Real smart business men -not.

It was a bad deal for the small stock holders and the cash and stock offer was a better deal. Why? let me explain.

From March 1st though April 16th gold went up 289.65 an ounce. Silver went up 5.29 an ounce. SVM stock went up 1.23 The value of all silver and gold deposits went up. Including shares and or silver and gold deposits in other companies we have ownership in right now.

IMHO Orecorp did not deal fairly when SVM got the loan to start moving the people. They then pushed for their interests for a higher cash bid. They should have been resolute on the SVM deal before they ever allowed SVM to hire a project manager, get a loan and start moving people.

The analyst failed to monitor and update their advice on the all cash offer suddenly not being worth as much as the cash and stock offer.
They needed to reevaluate all the silver and gold holdings for the SVM book of business. Their advice and lack of an update really hurt the small investor's and helped the big shareholders get cash. They will owe tax and IMHO have a much worse deal. .57cents less 10 tax is not a better deal than the stock deal which would have clearly off set any tax by the increase of value over the time frame for the offer to close on the 16th. The analyst should have said hold on, the deal is no longer better as a cash deal. Most people were talking about the daily increase in gold and silver and the analyst did not continue to monitor and speak up.

SVM and their shareholders should be re- immbursed all moneys we spent and the breakup fee.

There are articles of the silver supply running out in two years.

SVM needs to tie up New Pacific Metals at 51 percent ownership while the stock is still reasonable.

They will have decades of mine supply. If others run out SVM could really be seeing premium prices on silver. Also, they have gold.

Questions I would like to see Lon answer;

What happens to the project manager they hired to move people for Ore corp?,

Are we getting the breakup fee?

What happens to the stock we bought. Tendered back or held?

Was it Ore corp that was responsible for the 28M raised to facilitate moving the people and if not do they now pay us back?

Article this am. at Kitco. Expect silver supplies to run out in two years.

"https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2024-04-02/silversqueeze-coming-stocks-could-be-depleted-two-years-td-securities"

IMHO SVM should grab New Pacific Metals right now while it is still reasonable and set themselves up should this happen.

Not only silver they get gold likewise. Not going to be cheap two years from now.

Silver was over the magical mark of 26.25 this am. then dropped back down under. Need to close at or above to confirm.

Some thoughts now Ore Corp is no longer on the table.

OMAI gold already has 2M ounces gold and likely will find as much or more. We already own a ton of their stock and sit on their board.

The mill is already in place. They might have to add new ball mills. A thought is, with a properly supported tunnel, under the mill they can expand on the other side without removing the plant that was left. This would save major money.

OMAI stock is still so cheap it would not take much money to get to 51 percent ownership now.

Next,

SVM might consider getting to 51 percent on New Pacific now. We are at 27.4 percent now. Again not much money to have control with mega silver and gold reserves for years to come. They could accomplish taking over OMAI and New Pacific likely for less than what Ore Corp was going to cost them.

Just al IMHO.

Two day old Lon Shaver interview with comments on Orecorp.

We do have a breakup fee they pay us if it doesn't go through. He feels with the market going. up our offer is a better offer then the all cash offer. If we don't get the takeover we still have a large number of shares to participate and make money.

In other words a win any way one looks at it.

My best guess is we prevail over an all cash offer. Orecorp shareholders get a slice out of SVM other assets by going with our offer.

The end is March 22nd. The gold and silver prices might continue higher in the mean time and make our offer even better for them to accept.

Silvercorp Adds New General Manager for Tanzania Project
December 28 2023 - 07:30AM
PR Newswire (US)

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Silvercorp Metals Inc. ("Silvercorp" or the "Company") (TSX: SVM) (NYSE American: SVM) is pleased to announce the hiring of Mr. Kevin Moxham as General Manager of Tanzania Projects effective January 1, 2024.

Reporting to the CEO and the President, Mr. Moxham's main responsibility will be to lead the construction and commissioning of the Nyanzaga Gold Project, along with related infrastructure, in Tanzania, once Silvercorp has assumed effective control of the project.

Prior to joining Silvercorp, Mr. Moxham most recently served as Executive General Manager of the Khoemacau Copper Mine in Botswana where he was instrumental in facilitating its sale to MMG Limited for approximately US$2 billion in November 2023. Mr. Moxham led Khoemacau's mine development efforts from 2017, that culminated in the commencement of production in June 2021, accomplishing all targeted milestones and ramping up to full capacity of 10,000 tonnes per day by the time of its sale to MMG Limited.

Mr. Moxham started his mining career with Anglo American and has held General Manager roles at Barrick Gold's North Mara Gold Mines in Tanzania, Bisha Mining Share Company in Eritrea, and Newmont's Golden Ridge Akyem Gold Mine in Ghana, among other senior leadership positions. He is a past president and honorary lifetime member of the Association of Mine Resident Engineers of South Africa and a Founding Board Member of the Centre of Mechanization, Witwatersrand University. He had also played professionally in first-class cricket in the past for South Africa's Easterns franchise.

Some thoughts on OreCorp.

I note on 11/27 there were 50M shares traded. Then on 11/30 there were 57M shares traded.

We know Lon said he was going to consider his options.

It would seem less probable that Persus would buy those shares with a potential value of .60 cents a share that were bought at an average cost of around .48 cents a share over those two days and then vote no. That would be in addition to the 19 percent they already own.

It would seem more probable that SVM bought the shares and would then vote the shares and then cancel them and not have to pay .60 cents in stock and cash out there by saving money and less share dilution.

Not sure why that volume would be sold at .48 cents average vs. holding out for the higher figure.

At any rate the vote takes place at 9PM our time tonight. That will be 10am. Perth time Friday. So, we should know late tonight or early tomorrow if the plan was approved.

Good luck Lon and SVM.

I notice it says they will pay the dividends on or before Dec. 15th.

It would be a nice holiday present for them to pay them early while the market is down. They have already kissed the money off and it would be great to get to reinvest them at this lower price. Helps them on shareholder ownership likewise.
