Q: I stumbled upon I-80 gold because I have Equinox Gold EQX and Equinox just sold a bunch of shares of I-80 and reduced their ownership of I-80 from around 25 per cent to just under 20 per cent. EQX's selling of a block of shares drove down the share price and I took that as a buying opportunity. I believe EQX sold the block of shares not because they don't believe in I-80 but because they are short of $ for their capital projects for the next 18 months. What's your take on the motives for EQX reducing their ownership in I-80? What is your general impression of I-80? Lots of potential or lots of smoke and mirrors? There is hope that I-80 MIGHT have a porphyry at depth since there is a major anomaly from a geophysics survey. Is a porphyry find that big of a deal? The anomaly I believe is below the archimedes open pit? If a good ore body is found at depth from an existing open pit I take that as a good thing since they don't have to sink a much shaft for skipping and ventilation? Then again I am not a miner, but just a guy with time to read and who has an a good Internet connection!! You guys are the knowledgeable ones about mining.

Q: I am looking at either one of these companies for my first foray into materials. Would be for a TFSA. Which would be your pick and why ? Is now the time to buy or wait 3 to 6 months ?
Thanks. Derek

Q: Lately the worlds central banks have been buying ton's of gold. At the same time the price of gold has been moving very slow compared to the buying. Are the central banks buying paper gold or are they actually taking delivery of physical. If they are taking delivery of physical where are they getting it from as it seems to be way more than mine supply and the you tubes show massive buying at the coin shops in the US.

Q: You’ve been recommending First Majestic (FR) as a top silver play. How will it be affected by the developments at Jerritt Canyon, and why do you prefer it to other significant silver producers in Mexico, particularly MAG and SIL?

Q: Hi 5i,

Longtime suffering- and dollar-cost-average-down holder of Goldmoney (since 2018). The business model ought perform nicely in a market that increasingly embraces gold as an investment/inflation hedge.

So, the questions are: (i) when do figure XAU will get to join the gold party? (ii) has XAU's attractiveness as a handsome takeover target by one of the Big 6 increased since last you commented (~2021)?

Thanks!

Q: Which small and mid-cap miners in the gold and silver space are poised for impressive production growth in the near term?

Q: I hold YRI in my TFSA a/c and it has done well. It is now to be acquired by major Gold co. offering some cash and fractions of shares. I find it a problem to carry a few shares here and there. I am thinking of selling YRI and buying B2B to maintain my position in gold. Please advise if there are junior gold co. better than B2B.

Q: Why is this going up so much, is it a good hold and why? Thx. James

Q: I would appreciate your analysis of this company and would you be a buyer.

Q: 5i has commented positively regarding Lundin Mining in the past noting its strong balance sheet, valuation, and healthy dividend. On March 27, Lundin Mining announced that it has entered into a binding purchase agreement with JX Nippon Mining & Metals to acquire 51% of the issued and outstanding equity of SCM Minera Lumina Copper Chile. Mr. Market seems to love the deal if today's trading is any indication. Is 5i similarly enthusiastic about the deal?

Thank you as always for your expertise.
