Q: I was wondering what your opinion of this official status of silver now is.

"Silver was officially added to the U.S. Critical Minerals list by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as part of the final 2025 list, with the recommendation made in August 2025 and the final list published in November 2025, marking a major shift recognizing its importance in technology, defense, and renewable energy".

In light of this, what 3 silver or mining companies you would recommend for exposure small, medium, large cap examples.? Do you believe that this new status has lead to the large appreciation this year? I do hold physical so I have some exposure there already.

Thanks for your great service.

Q: AbraSilver has recently closed a bought deal financing at $7.10 with Kinross as one of the buyers to finance its advancement of Diablillos in Argentina. This seems to be a large project so with shares now at $6.29 would you be a buyer? Please comment also on the PAAS outlook.

Q: I have some Pan American Silver shares in my Canadian dollar account at my broker, but I also have some Pan American Silver shares in my US dollar account (obtained through a US takeover).

I don't think my broker charges anything to transfer the shares from my US account to my Canadian account, but my question is: When I move the shares from my US account, will they automatically transfer one-for-one so that I simply have all the shares combined in a single (Canadian) listing? This would save me an extra commission, and a potential foreign exchange hit, if I ever decide to sell them. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter et al:

This is a slight variation of Robert's question on September 29th on Silver. Robert asked for high risk, high reward Silver/Gold Juniors.

Can you give some names in Silver/Gold Juniors: Low risk and reasonable reward. In other words can you add safety as a factor and give some names?

Thanks for answering my question on majors in Silver. I have initiated positions in PAAS/CDE/AG. The only thing that baffled me a bit is that I see you had included FM in some answers but not in others.

Many thanks.

Q: Can I get your general thoughts about gold and silver please. Broadly speaking gold is in a fairly new bull market, which tend to last many years once they start. Silver is just about to print its highest quarterly close ever (45 years in the making), and is within striking distance of all time highs.

For the last ~15 years it's been a fools errand to have much exposure to the sector, what do you think is an appropriate weighting for precious metals? Are you bullish on gold and silver?

What are your top 3 picks for gold exposure, and top 3 for silver exposure? Thanks!

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Many thanks for answering my question on Gold . Much appreciated.

This is along the same lines about Silver. I reviewed Q&A on Gold/Silver sub topic and I see that Christopher on September 03 2025 had asked this same question and . This is a follow up question to clarify simple things.

At this stage of the cycle, Gold Vs Silver ratio, would you prefer physical Silver(PSLV/SVR) or stocks?

Are the stocks that you picked for Christopher on that day, is it in the order of your preference/importance?

Thank you.

Q: Hi,

For portfolio considerations I need to start to trim AEM back to a full position weight. I also have PAAS, WGX, FNV, AGI at full position, and ABX at just over a half position for may precious metals portfolio. Would you recommend investing the AEM trim to top up ABX, or is there another precious metal that you would like better at this time. And can you give me a brief reason why.
Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i, What are your thoughts on silver vs gold at this time? Looks like silver has lagged gold, not sure what the historical difference is. I also feel if this onshoring, electrification theme continues then silver might start to run, more than it has. Please provide a few Canadian etfs and stocks you think might participate. Lastly, gold, does it have room to continue to run as it appears a devaluation of the greenback is likely to continue. Thx.
