Q: I have owned IVN for many, many years....back when it was below $1. I have sold bits as it has moved up over the years. I was always told not to fall in love with a stock and feel I might be with IVN.

Can you give me a best case senerio on what the top end of this company could be. I always had in my mind it was worth $12-14, but is it possible this is a $20 stock or maybe a $30 stock someday?

If everything fall in place as planned, no political issues, metal prices keep increasing, etc, what do you see this company being worth in the next 4-5 or even 10 years?

Will not hold you to it, just looking for your opinion.

Thanks.

Q: Happy New year 5I. This is my first question of 2023. DPM had a big pop yesterdday. i guess that the press release about a juicy find in their Serbian property was the reason for the sharp rise in share price (60isb grams over 40 meters sounds pretty good but you ex-Sprott guys should know better than me,) So my questions are: Are those drill results in Serbia as good as they sound to me? and Does a release of good drill results usually lead to sustained strong share price? (My observation is that interest wanes when the next company announces some shiny drill results!) I like DPM for their net cash balance sheet, two profitable mines in Bulgaria, the copper smelter in Namibia, and now this potential in Serbia. I wish they had not invested in the property in Equador but it is too late now. I sold half my postion in DPM. Should I keep the rest and get out now that 52 week share price is near the high point?

Q: I'm interested in re-entering the gold mining market with central banks around the world are starting to increase their gold reserves. I used own these three names - YRI, BTO, and FNV - in the past. I'm surprised that all three are now dividend payers!

Would you be interested in these three names again at this juncture? Kindly rank them in the order of preference and also please add if there are other gold miner names that I should consider (regardless of yield).

Thanks.

Q: My third question today!! Hope you don't mind the blitz of questions! What's up with copper miners. The share price of the copper miners I own have moved up substantially in 2023 although copper is not up that much. I have ARG for their debt free balance sheet and juicy dividend, Lundin for a large miner with a good dividend and HBM which i tend to trade since it appears to me to be irrationally volitile. I like the copper mining space long term but I do trade portions of positions because of the extreme volitility. I am thinking of taking some profits in HBM (virtually no dividend) and keeping LUN and ARG. What do you think of this strategy? Who do you like in copper miners and why?

Q: May I have your thoughts on the USA’s debt ceiling? There is speculation in the press that the most conservative elements (called the “Freedom Caucus”) inside the Republican Party will refuse to raise the debt ceiling without drastic cuts to the country’s chronic budget deficit. In a worse case scenario an impasse will cause government bonds to default. The caucus is quite small but seems to have a large influence over the Republican Party due to its very slender majority in the House Of Representatives. I will need to take some money out of my RRIF this year not covered by the RRIF’s dividend income. Do you think I should be selling stock now or to put it another way will a government bond default is simply not realistic? After all it would take only about 10 Republicans to vote with the Democrats to raise the debt ceiling.

A bond rate spike is typically bad for gold prices but in this case might be positive for gold. Do you agree?

Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Jim

Q: Hi 5i Team - Trading in Sierra Madre Gold and Silver (SM - V) has been halted for many months now, starting around the time they made an announcement regarding an acquisition I think. Would you be able to find out why the long trading halt and if there is a chance of trading resuming sometime in the near future. Any other information such as insider holdings/trading, the status of the balance sheet, newsworthy projects, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
