Yukon Metals Reports 14 g/t Gold in 300-Metre Step-Out Drilling and Optioned Adjacent Sumitomo-Drilled PropertyMay 12, 2026 10:38 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Yukon Metals Corp.Built by the same prospecting team behind Snowline Gold's 7.94-million-ounce Valley deposit, Yukon Metals is consolidating an 18-project, 43,000+-hectare portfolio across copper, gold, silver, and tungsten — and the institutional money is starting to follow.USA News Group News CommentaryWHITEHORSE, YT, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Gold opened the second quarter of 2026 with prices that would have been unthinkable two years ago. According to the World Gold Council's Q1 2026 Gold Demand Trends report, the LBMA (PM) gold price set a new quarterly average record of US$4,873 per ounce in Q1 2026, with the metal hitting an all-time high of US$5,405 per ounce in January 2026 before correcting [1]. Total gold demand reached 1,231 tonnes (+2% YoY), with the value of demand surging 74% to a record US$193 billion [1]. Central banks added another 244 tonnes to global reserves and bar-and-coin investment climbed 42% to 474 tonnes — the second-highest quarter on record [1]. The capital is flowing back into producers and the highest-conviction juniors at the same time. The question, increasingly, is which untested ground gets pulled into the next wave. The Yukon — for years a place where the geology was indisputably world-class but the capital cycle was indifferent — is finally getting the attention. Snowline Gold's 7.94-million-ounce Valley deposit, the recent strategic alliance between Cascadia Minerals and Agnico Eagle, and Hecla Mining's Keno Hill operation have collectively put the territory back on every generalist's map. Smaller juniors with credible technical teams and contiguous land positions are positioned to be the next beneficiaries.Yukon Metals Corp. (CSE: YMC) (FSE: E770) (OTCQB: YMMCF) is one of them. The company controls an 18-project, 43,000+-hectare portfolio across the territory, built on more than 30 years of prospecting by the Berdahl family — the same team behind Snowline Gold's flagship Rogue Project [2]. In its most recent corporate presentation, Yukon Metals frames its portfolio as "four distinct district plays copper-gold, tungsten, gold, and silver-lead-zinc." [3]. Drill assays released across the past six months at Birch, Carter Gulch, and Star River have started to validate the thesis, and an April 27, 2026 option agreement on the Sumo copper-gold property — previously drilled by Sumac Mines Ltd., a subsidiary of Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. — has just consolidated the company's position in what it now calls the "emergent Birch District" [3].A 300-Metre Step-Out Becomes a DiscoveryThe headline result of Yukon Metals' 2025 program came at Birch, the company's 100%-owned, 7,000-hectare copper-gold project located 65 kilometres northeast of Burwash Landing in southwestern Yukon. On December 8, 2025, the company reported that hole BR25-003 — drilled 300 metres northeast of the original discovery hole — intersected 47.4 metres of 0.43 g/t gold from 26.6 metres depth, including 1.0 metre of 14.35 g/t gold at 71.0 metres [4]. That 14 g/t hit is the highest-grade gold intercept ever recorded at Birch, and a deeper interval in the same hole returned 33.8 metres of 0.19 g/t gold from 278.7 metres, supporting the company's interpretation of stacked mineralized horizons [4].Notably, the 14 g/t intercept occurred with minimal arsenic — a geochemical signature typically associated with proximal, higher-temperature skarn environments, the kind generally found close to a porphyry source [4]. Surface prospecting two kilometres south of the drill collars returned rock samples grading up to 16 g/t gold, 1,825 g/t silver, and 0.43% copper, coincident with a large molybdenum soil anomaly [4]."Last year's drilling identified a system transitioning at depth from copper into a gold-rich zone showing multiple mineralization episodes and confirmed that mineralization extends well beyond our initial discovery," says Jim Coates, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The highest-grade gold we have seen at Birch to date came from that program, and it is a key driver of our 2025 exploration plans." The 2025 Birch program totaled 1,685 metres of HQ diamond drill core in six holes off four pads.Carter Gulch: 250 g/t Gold from Float, with a New 70-Claim Block to Cover ItIf Birch was the technical highlight of late 2025, Carter Gulch was the early-2026 surprise. On February 20, 2026, Yukon Metals reported that 2025 rock sampling at Carter Gulch — located approximately 40 kilometres from Whitehorse — returned gold values up to 250 grams per tonne, with an average grade of 17.8 g/t Au across nine samples that exceeded 1 g/t (out of 27 samples submitted) [6]. The peak sample (325933, an oxidised quartz vein float sample) also assayed 41.9 ppm silver, 2,130 ppm copper, and 2.96% lead [6]. Two additional float samples returned 118.5 g/t Au and 38.30 g/t Au respectively [6].Following those results, Yukon Metals staked 68 new quartz claims around the original Kiyoko claims, bringing the total Carter Gulch land position to 70 claims covering approximately 1,462 hectares — a footprint scaled to capture both the historic CG Showing (where 1993 prospecting returned up to 142 g/t Au, 1.3% Pb, and 1.1% Cu) and the nearby Peppy Showing 1.5 kilometres to the southeast [6]. Gravel roads run within two kilometres of the property and the Alaska Highway is ten kilometres from the claim boundary [6].Star River: 11.7 g/t Gold and a Polymetallic Corridor Five Kilometres From a Past-Producing MineThe April 2, 2026 release on Star River — Yukon Metals' silver-lead-zinc-gold project located approximately 5 kilometres from the past-producing Ketza River Gold Mine in southern Yukon — added a different kind of result [7]. The 2025 first-pass drill program tested the F2, F3, and Saddle vein systems with eight holes and confirmed a 1-kilometre-long structural corridor defined by drone magnetic surveying.Highlights from the program include:11.7 g/t gold over 0.5 metres in hole SR25-001 within metre-scale quartz-ankerite-sulphide veins in the F2 zone [7]A separate F2-corridor interval in the same hole returning 183 g/t silver and 10.6% lead over 0.5 metres [7]Hole SR25-006 (south of F2) intersecting three 1.5-metre intervals of 2.4–3.4% zinc in brecciated and veined metasediments [7]F3 vein drilling (holes SR25-007 and SR25-008) returning up to 116 g/t silver and 3.2% lead [7]Multiple holes intersecting gold mineralization between 1.9 and 4.9 g/t [7]Yukon Metals also acquired the contiguous Stump claims, which extend roughly 2 kilometres of prospective ground south along the same structural corridor and cover a historic high-grade silver-lead vein where surface samples have returned more than 2,400 g/t silver and 70% lead over narrow intervals [7].The Sumo Option: A Sumitomo-Drilled Property in the Same DistrictThe April 27, 2026 option agreement on the Sumo copper-gold property is the move that ties the recent results into a district-scale story. Sumo sits approximately 10 kilometres east of Birch and comprises 75 quartz claims totalling roughly 1,875 hectares along the same geological trend [3]. The strategic value lies in what's already been done on the property: between 2013 and 2015, Sumac Mines Ltd. — a subsidiary of Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. — drilled 19 diamond drill holes totalling approximately 7,300 metres at Sumo, with core remaining stored on site [3]. The fact that one of the world's largest base-metals producers spent meaningful capital here a decade ago is, in itself, a strong vote of confidence in the geology.Recent work by optionor Ryan Burke — a Yukon prospector also responsible for generating the Catch prospect, now owned by Cascadia Minerals and the subject of a March 2026 earn-in agreement with Agnico Eagle — has added new layers. A 2024 soil grid covering 3 × 2 kilometres returned peak values of 587 ppm copper, 409 ppb gold, and 4.1 ppm molybdenum, and 2025 surface sampling defined a new 1.1 km × 600 m copper-gold skarn target located approximately 1.2 km from the previous Sumitomo-era drill sites [3]. Option terms call for $395,000 in aggregate cash payments and 1.5 million shares over six years, plus $3.6 million in work expenditures, with Burke retaining a 2.5% NSR (1% repurchasable for 750 oz of gold) [3].The Comparable Set: Where Yukon Metals SitsThe peer set explains the framework well. Snowline Gold Corp. (TSX: SGD) (OTCQB: SNWGF) — graduated from the TSX Venture Exchange to the senior Toronto Stock Exchange in November 2025 and added to the GDXJ in March 2026 — is the obvious anchor. Snowline's Valley deposit on the Rogue Project now hosts 7.94 million ounces of gold Measured & Indicated (204 Mt at 1.21 g/t) plus 0.89 million ounces Inferred (44.5 Mt at 0.62 g/t), per the Preliminary Economic Assessment dated August 27, 2025 with an effective date of March 1, 2025 [8]. The company entered 2026 with roughly C$105 million in treasury and announced a new "Crossroad" target on its Cynthia Project in February 2026, with selective grab samples up to 14.1 g/t gold and 3,505 g/t silver [8]. The Berdahl prospecting connection — and the parallel geology between Snowline's Selwyn Basin ground and Yukon Metals' Birch system — gives Yukon Metals shareholders a direct technical lineage to one of the territory's most-watched stories.Hecla Mining Company (NYSE: HL) — described in its own corporate language as "the largest silver producer in the United States and Canada" — operates Keno Hill in the Yukon and reported Q1 2026 sales of $411 million and net income from continuing operations of $165 million on May 5, 2026 [9]. (GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders was $19 million for the quarter, reflecting a $192 million non-cash write-down related to the sale of Casa Berardi.) Hecla redeemed the remaining $263 million of its 7.25% Senior Notes on April 9, 2026, leaving the company effectively debt-free with a $225 million undrawn revolving credit facility [9]. Q1 silver production at Keno Hill of 0.5 million ounces was down 18% from the prior quarter due to Yukon Energy power supply issues during extreme cold weather, but the operation produced a record 3.0 million ounces in 2025 and remains a key Yukon silver mine [9]. Hecla has budgeted a record $55 million for exploration and pre-development in 2026 [9].Western Copper and Gold Corporation (TSX: WRN) (NYSE American: WRN) advances the Casino copper-gold-molybdenum project in west-central Yukon — a project of national significance with 8.5 million ounces of gold and 5.08 billion pounds of copper in proven and probable reserves per its 2022 Feasibility Study [10]. Western submitted its Environmental and Socio-economic Effects Statement to YESAB on October 6, 2025, and closed an upsized $92 million bought deal financing on February 26, 2026, at $4.15 per share, with combined cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of approximately $135 million as of March 26, 2026 [10]. The Casino Technical and Sustainability Committee includes representation from strategic investors Rio Tinto and Mitsubishi Materials [10].The framework matters. Yukon Metals is not yet at Snowline's resource scale and not at Western Copper's permitting stage. But it does sit on 18 projects, 43,000+ hectares, and has now produced credible drill results at three of them in less than six months — Birch, Carter Gulch, and Star River — while securing optionable ground (Sumo) that already saw 7,300 metres of Sumitomo-funded drilling. The capital structure (basic shares of 114.3 million as of October 2025; current basic market cap approximately C$56 million at the May 5 close of C$0.49) leaves substantial room for re-rating if any one of the three properties advances toward a maiden resource [11].Why NowThe 2026 macro setup for gold and silver is the most supportive in a generation. Hecla's realized Q1 2026 silver price was $82.70 per ounce, more than double the prior-year quarter [9]. Newmont's Q1 2026 realized gold price of $4,900 per ounce drove a 96% year-over-year increase in net income to $3.3 billion and a record $3.1 billion of free cash flow [12]. In a market like this, exploration-stage companies with multiple drill-ready targets, a recognized technical pedigree, and contiguous land positions tend to receive disproportionate capital. Yukon Metals checks all three boxes — and the recent Sumo addition shows the management team is using the moment to consolidate, not just publish.The next data points to watch: 2026 drill program details across Birch, Star River, AZ (where rock chip samples have graded up to 26% copper and a Dec 4, 2025-effective NI 43-101 technical report was filed in March 2026), and follow-up at Sumo's recently defined 1.1 km × 600 m copper-gold skarn target [3,13].Continuing coverage of Yukon Metals Corp. and the broader Yukon mining sector is available at https://equity-insider.com/ymc-landingCONTACT:

(sorry I didn't reply sooner I have only 15 posts a day)
I feel ya on that slump! Up until a few weeks ago I wasn't even looking outta disgust.
But been having a bit o luck with trophy shares like FUSZ I got them a year ago(flipped from .10-.40ish(and kept half my shares for runs like it's going thru now) and BIEL seeming to have more upside but that second is scammy as hell so after .01 imma sell most my shares if it can hit that target some are saying .10-.15 but I've heard that since 2012.

Other than that I have just been looking where to buy and or add every week on all my plays. That WRN shoulda been bigger by now and that's why I'm looking to add if she dips below .60 and esp .40s and .20s she is always good for a dollar to run sooner or later.

Saw you were from FL I'm moving to Shalimar north of Fort Walton after JULY. So I'm hoping wins from this year will help fund some Scuba and maybe Paramotoring. If PHOT and other MJ plays would run I'd have a lot more cheddar to play but my bet imma have to wait till the end of the year Qs and legalization changes that prolly will start in 2019. But right now in my mind, I'm looking to re-add any cannabis play and look for the bottom to double down
(saw you liked GRNH I just added more to my trophy shares I think anything at or under 4s is good)

G-Man,

Thanx, bro. Will put my binoculars on this one. I'm in a prolonged slump right now.**

Loyal

**--- That's nice way of telling some inept ballplayers they can't hit a lick.

P.P.S. - - - Florida? Where in Florida? We're a pretty big state, and there's a bunch of us living here. And it seems everyone and his grandmother is moving here now. Can't blame 'em.

hey loyal,
Aside for I'm looking for this one to drop under .60 again(buying opp im not in tho until under that pps) somewhat soon, you may want to look into RGNP a sapphire company outta the hills, has profits, low float, otc orange I think could easily run towards .32 and you can get em for around .04, and basic news(buy the rumor dropped today) so hope it helps make you some minerals money!

low vol and not alot of eyes on em right now is the only negative i found so far

Death cross formation of the 50/100 day MAs!!! I did I sold a mere $300 buy for an x8.5 gain, I'm looking to get back in maybe under .68ish, but I'm banking on lower again dunno if we'll make it to .20, but thinking .43 will be possible by June of next year if not much sooner. Time is running out though I think w/n two years bottom of this could be $3, but company hasn't given or done anything to strengthen the stock IMO. GLT

My numbers are for the American NYSE. Side, sub diff of the CAD and same pattern to fall!

I'm expecting this one to drop toward the 1.06 lvl and break the MA resistance and in the next few months trail down with the rest of the metals market causing a settling toward .75 and under.

weird how this is holding it's price, looks like a 2011 repeat to where they raised 23 mil then it ran to $4

Well been cleaning up the mod board and i started another WRN page for the american side.

stock this is sweet I think i'm gonna add to the mod board.

Took profits today here with the best of em, got em at a 3.5x bagger. this one I think could go either way Moth. Either 1.2 ish is coming up or .63 and a drop with the metals market come July to Aug. do you have and thoughts Moth? I've been holding and watching since 2012 in wrn.

Weeeeeeeeeeee

Hey Loyal long time. WRN is testing the .70 cap today and my bet is we could go either way but I'm banking on a double from here in a few days to weeks. The chart looks like a loading zone, but we'll have to see how this one plays out. IMO the overall long game the next 4 years peeps might get a chance to add below the .6 mark but once they start churning out resources $3 a share will be in the past and $22 is my 5-to-10 yr target. I added during the .20 dip I called 2 years out. Hope your doing well!

Price rise since January makes sense. Reliable source says the Chinks are now buying up huge amounts of silver to go with their gold. I guess they're covering their bets when the reset occurs as the dollar crashes, thus instituting a new world currency backed up by one or more metals.

I'll be sad to see our dollar go under the bridge as the reserve currency, since it's been with us our entire lives. But let's face it; our dollar has been manipulated so badly by the Fed and other banksters that it's become a nearly worthless piece of junk, and the outside world knows it. Only our fellow-American citizens are yet in the dark. Rude awakening coming as storm clouds gather on the horizon.

$WRN DD Notes ~ http://www.ddnotesmaker.com/WRN

Hey Loyal,
Been like six months since I've been over here but I'm nice and avg'd down waiting for the pop. Sorry to hear that, but I think we are in more of a surplus era during a low demand time. because it was so profitable into2011 so many mines opened up, and with the COMEX whoring out paper(worthless) shares that is ultimately why the market is so low and as metals get cheaper alot of mines will have to close and as supply diminishes price will eventually go back up.

But I noticed CNN has three analysts saying WRN will see a high over the next year of 1.91 and a low of .94 with the company saying and avg range of 1.12. My bet is it will see 1.5easy because the mine is supposed to go online next year and hopefully start turning revenues, but I'm thinking there will be heavy unloading at the 1.5 point if she runs. Funny how this has been holding the .30range and also since this is a Canadian stock on the us market the value of the Canadian dollar will effect it too.

As for physical silver my avg physical holdings are probably in the $20 range since I've been averaging down and will continue. I betting the next five years we will see easy 8 an ounce and as low as 5 I'm betting is possible before this market turns bull. And may be as high $75 come 2030 sadly it is a long game playing with metals unless shortage, inflating, and all of the other variables cause a bump sooner.

G-Man,

Thanks for the info. Am still considering. What prevents me (and grieves me) right now is silver itself. I bought some of the real thing a few months ago, and I thought it was a steal at 16.25/oz., and in the long run it will be. But right now the shorters are turning silver into just more junk yard scrap metal.

What a screwed up world this is.

Loyal

Loyal, I am betting that this could drop even lower into the .20s by the annual jun metals dip, but between .20-.45 I will be considering adding a few thousand more because I am investing in the long with this one I really see the potential for a minimum $3 a share price after they go active in 2016. They have $21 million already on hand no debt to the best of my knowledge and pending metal flux prices the operating range for me when i looked at the company was $3-21 PPS over the next 26 yrs. I may seem like a crack pot but i even like that hardly no one talks on here about em.

G-Man,

Currently sitting at .50 (3/13/15). You reckon this will slip to its low of .45 as back in February? Metals are still crap right now thanks to the worldwide bankster shorters.

Western looks tempting, but I just don't know.

Loyal

G-Man,

If its sister company weren't able to siphon off all its profits, AG$Z could show some movement. Not a good deal when somebody else gets 80% of what you earn.

Still hoping this thing will pop its cork. Wish the new world order crowd would stop shorting silver. The jerks.

Loyal

hey loyal long time... shame that A G C Z did not work out. I believe WRN will drop to as low as the .20s by June if metals do what i think, it might be the last time to get cheapness before the 2016 mine going on line and raking in profits after a few years it is anybodies guess from $3.00-22.00 will be the share price if everything pans out.

high .50s coming un in june with the seasonal metals dip. it will prolly be a good entry, we dropped under .90 here yesterday from almost a buck.

I think WRN started its yearly run toward $1 its at .88 right now.

well i picked up some .0014s and .0009s or 8s i can't remember, hoping i could get some 2s or 4s before the bounce, but looks like it will hold the 8-10s.
as for WRN i sold half my shares at .78 their avg was .69. i'm looking to avg down in the .60s in the next week it looks like it is coming too, wait for the pump over a dollar.

G-man,

Loyalhound here. Saw your appearance on AGCZ for the first time.

Welcome. Been with it for three years. Should pop with fins coming. Actually, should have popped some time ago. They say tain't being shorted, but I know better. Great asset to debt ratio (7 to 1). Not just exploration; showing profits for a long time. Lots of moaning and groaning among posters, but mostly accusations by those who like to piss n' moan.

Floor probably now around .0010 or .0011.

Thought to write you here so as not to blow your cover, or mine.

Loyalhound

- - - WRN still meandering. Shouldn't be. Silver will follow gold up the ladder, so we should rise with the tide.

akeover Bids Return to Canadian Mining
Western Copper and Gold Among Juniors That See Share Price Rise
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 20, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A rising tide of mining M&A doesn't necessarily lift all resource stocks, but it certainly raises the prices and profiles of the best looking ones, particularly juniors: And raises the prospect of more bids to come.
To wit: Hudbay Minerals offered Augusta Resource shareholders $540 million ($2.26 in cash and .315 of an HBM share) representing an 18% premium over the pre-announcement close.
Goldcorp bid $5.95 a share in cash -- a 15% premium over close - for Osisko Mining. Shares immediately traded to $6 and change looking for a better offer. If closed, the $2.6 billion deal would be the biggest Canadian mining transaction in over a year.
Both bids are hostile and analysts see the potential for rival or higher bids.
"We saw our share price rise significantly in the week after the Hudbay-Augusta bid was announced," stated Dale Corman, mining industry veteran and Chairman of Western Copper and Gold (TSX:WRN) (NYSE:MKT). "Negativity had swung the pendulum too far and is now correcting, as investors pay more attention to copper supply issues and look for companies with large deposits, cash and that are closer to production."
The market after these bids helped lift some good quality junior stocks such as WRN that the market had been ignoring for some time. Adding to the compelling picture for copper companies is the fact that Augusta is close to the end of its permitting process, which was likely a major factor in the bid timing.
With almost $3 billion-plus potentially looking for a new home, post deals, the question arises, where will shareholders deploy their cash? They will likely be looking into situations similar to those that were just bought out.
In the Yukon, where WRN has its flagship Casino deposit, 4 mining permits have been granted in the last 7 years and they have taken just over 2 years on average to obtain. WRN has reported that they have spent the last 6 years and over $18 million dollars in preparation of their Environmental Assessment Application (Casino Mining Proposal) that was submitted in January of 2014.
The clock appears to be ticking now toward production as WRN advances the permitting process. If you take a look at the highlights of the project and consider the management team that is advancing the project, you'll see why WRN might be on the radar of the majors:
-- Large Deposit with over a billion tonnes of reserves

-- Upside Potential of an additional 1.7 billion tonnes of Inferred Resource

-- Great project economics ($1.8B NPV and 21.1% IRR after-tax as defined by
their bankable Feasibility Study in 2013)

-- Located in a politically stable jurisdiction
The ongoing spectre of copper shortages, which lends more fuel to the current M&A activity, is evidenced by the London Metal Exchange (LME) inventory, which is down to 300,000 tonnes from record highs in the summer of 2013. With Chinese inventories also down, most commercial buyers have little choice than to buy LME grade copper, putting mounting upward pressure on price.
Energy and mining analysts Wood Mackenzie contend that 4.5Mt of greenfield (new sites) copper production will be needed by 2022. For context, that amount represents the equivalent of the production from 45 Casino projects. Arguably, it's difficult to see much downside in the copper price at current levels or any slowdown in M&A activity in the sector.
WRN's shares are currently trading about 50% higher than they did two months ago. Western's Feasibility study for Casino showed excellent economics with a 20.1% after-tax IRR and a $1.8-billion NPV at an 8% discount rate (based on US$3 copper and US$1,400 gold).
Probably the best asset WRN has going for it is the management team that Corman has kept together since he ran Western Silver and sold off the Penasquito project to Glamis (Goldcorp) for $1.6 Billion in 2006.
For Corman's part, he brings a successful career that has spanned almost half a century. Given his experience, WRN, with its exceptional potential just seems like business as usual to hear him tell the story.
In a recent article on CEO.ca, Corman states: "I talk to investors, and some of them have never heard of the name Western Copper and Gold. When suddenly the light comes back on, they'll come to us rather than to another name." He continues, "As we move the project towards production they'll make out extremely well."

check out the wrn news today, think where going back up!

did you see the news on WRN today, up up up and away we go.

lol. I'm looking at the charts agian today and looks like we might see a break above .95. i can't wait to see if it happens or turns south. personally i hope i'm wrong and income tax is coming, sure would be nice to get some more .50s

lol

G-man,

I called Janet Yellen on your behalf with the hope that she could spot you something and print you a few bucks like Benji always did monthly for the big boys. Could use a few digital dollars myself.

So far she's yet to get back to me.

Loyalhound

looks like the squeeze is coming tomorrow, ended .71 today. darnit i'm married to a few penny stocks and i wanna buy more WRN now!!! Everytime this has been primed for its 3 month pump i've seen em coming but missed out, it this dips to the .50ish range in jun i'm slapping 2K in! heck might just even do it in mid march.

looking at charts with boillinger bands, looks like this puppy is gonna bounce to .90ish with in the next two weeks if not sooner. dang i wish i had so free d up money but i am playing CAK for the upcoming split at the end of the month.

What a crazy stock that defies charts this is. The day after Christmas the slow stoch (which I generally trust) indicated WRN was way overbought and dropped, so I cooled it and watched.

So what happened? The thing shot up nearly one-third over the next five consecutive sessions.

Go figure.

another up day today even on a friday. watch for the 1.25-1.56 bounce I think its coming!

I don't know how to explain my forecasts other than educated gut feelings. I look and study sooo much data in one day, think outside the box on that data to what the economy will do, and fire. So far with JE, WRN, PHOT, and now I’m looking into SWHC. I've been pretty close. I've had others too afraid to play that I would have done well in and ones I’m currently married too. But they’re the ones I learned from.

The whole thing puzzles me to no end. With silver in much greater demand than even gold industrially, it makes no sense that silver stocks continue to decline. Seems the more I learn, the less I know. That's why manipulation is the only thing that rings true to me, and I gotta believe that back room wheelers are driving silver down while buying and hording at the same time. Kind of like what the Hunt brothers did years ago, only this time in conglomerate fashion.

And while the Hunt boys went to jail for it, these shysters continue to get away with their little game.

So i'm curious to see what will happen today. If it goes up this week my forecast is a high in the 1.23-1.56 range in a few weeks and if not a trickle (with a slght pump in march) to .42 by june. Loyal you got any thoughts?

Loyal,
I totally agree. IMO Right now is the time to do two things with this stock and that's buy low in the .20 to .70 range sell above the $1.25ish range but play it carefully cuz, silver price and with the company going online in the next two years, i really really think somewhere above $3 people are gonna be saying remember when it was under $1 and really kicking themselves for not buying. With this stock i think the question is not if but when!

G-man,

If the shorters around the world were made to stop playing games with silver, it wouldn't need a pump.

And methinks one day fairly soon, once inflation kicks in big time, silver and this stock will follow other precious metals through the roof.
