Q: While I understand 5i prefers questions about companies with a market cap of $1 billion plus, this is a general question more about open-pit mining in Mexico than it is company specific. Two years ago I bought DSV shares for many reasons, not least of which were the involvement of Eric Sprott and the selection of Tony Makuch as CEO. This past summer I was shaken out of my position in DSV when I learned that the new govt was hoping to change the constitution in order to ban open-pit mining. However, apparently they do not have the numbers in the Senate to pass the legislation. DSV's Cordero project is planned to be open-pit. I realize you can't speak to my personal situation, but are investors wise to stay on the sidelines regarding development stage projects in Mexico given the new govt's legislative push or do you believe that nothing will really change? Btw, if you have any information regarding whether or not DSV will be allowed to build the intended open-pit mine, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any insights you can offer.

Q: Hello,
Any idea why DSV is up 12% today on high volume? Silver is flat and I see no news?
thanks

Q: Hi have these microcap companies in low portfolio weighting speculative account. PNRL and TLO since I think nickel will be in demand for EV batteries, and DSV as an silver developer.

Any opinion on viability of the 3 companies? Tempted to cut them loose but not in taxable account, so just looking at opportunity cost. Do you think any/all of these 3 survive for a hopefully better market for metals?
