If silver move past $6-$7, then SSRI will make its shareholders very happy. Otherwise, they will be very sorry!.
I like SSRI a lot, but not before silver starts its bull market. Cause if silver prices languish here for another few years, SSRI will lose its luster. Not so with BAY, I think. |

Le Metropole Members,
Gold is also acting UNUSUALLY well in the face of Gold Cartel selling. Gold is up $2.60 at $278.20.

NEW YORK (Dec 22) - Silver prices jumped Friday in what traders described as a supply squeeze ahead of the four-day Christmas holiday market closure.
At the COMEX, silver led precious metals higher in thin, pre-holiday trading. Silver for delivery in March closed 7.2 cents higher at $4.472 an ounce, trading at its highest levels since Oct. 12.
Prices stayed supported by a relentless rise in lease rates for silver bullion, dealers said. One-month silver lease rates spiked to around 27 percent late on Friday, their highest since severe tightness brought on by a massive 130-million-ounce silver purchase by billionaire U.S. investor Warren Buffett in 1997 and 1998.
There has been no clear indication of who is behind the squeeze in recent weeks, which has inverted silver forwards from their normal contango structure to backwardation, a situation where spot prices are higher than forwards.
"It's a genuine squeeze," said a dealer at a large metals trading operation. "The people who know aren't talking, and the people who don't know are talking more than than they should. I'd be happy to admit that I don't know."
In a backwardation, speculators can earn the difference between low U.S. interest rates and high silver yields by buying the metal at the forward discount.
Silver's buoyancy carried over to gold. February gold closed $1.80 higher at $278.30 an ounce, ignoring more weakness in the euro currency on Friday. A weaker euro typically weighs on gold prices by making dollar-denominated precious metals less attractive to European consumers. |

None of SSRI projects have a net asset value because, according to the company, none are economic at silver prices below $6-$7.
That is why the company is calling itself a perpetual call on silver. For now the call is out-of-the-money and the price of the stock is all premium.
SSRI's strategy will pay off big time if silver moves to $7-$10, but the stock will eventually go to $0.25-$0.50 if silver never makes it above $6.00
IMO the SSRI strategy of continuously diluting their stock to acquire high cost projects is very dangerous for its shareholders. |

To: Stephen O who wrote (141) | 12/28/2001 4:11:08 PM | From: Claude Cormier | | | There best two projects:
Bowdens: 60M ounces.. needs $6 silver for a 20% IRR
Manatial: 45M ounces.. needs $6 silver for a 20% IRR * assuming 50% BHK/50% SSRI
These two are approx. 25% of all resources. |
