Investment Q&A

Q: May I have your two top picks for silver producers, small caps, mid caps and seniors?
With appreciation,

Q: What, in your opinion, would happen to the share price and business outlook of DSV if the permit for Cordero were never granted? In the current political environment and outlook for the price of silver, how likely do you think it is that the permit will be held up forever?

Q: Dear Peter et al:

"Rumblings" by YouTubers suggest that Silver's top is fast approaching. 100$ seems to be "magical" figure. Some are suggesting to "lighten" up. I have the above mentioned favorites of yours. (Didn't get CDE/HL) I have done well with ALL of your Gold/Silver choices.
The question is if one should stay put or "lighten" up as others seem to say. I am an investor and NOT a trader.

P.S. Reading your answers I get the impression that you seem to think that there is some ways to go up in commodities. Hope I am not wrong in my interpretation.

Q: The usual adage with a spike in precious metals is that senior miners follow the metal, and last to the party are the junior miners. Can you name 2-3 speculative junior miners heavily leveraged to the price of silver?

Q: We are looking to find a medium to large cap company in the silver sector. What would be your recommendation?

Q: Peter; Thank you the response yesterday. Given your info would it not be a good time to add a little? I don’t think Mr. Sprott would risk his reputation if he was trading with any material info.
As a long timer, I would like to thank you and all of your staff for the exceptional service over the years. My wife and have
both seen all our various portfolio’s returns that beat anything
available in the investing universe.
Enjoy your time off, not much I would guess, and a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Q: Peter; Silver is back on its parabolic rise, along with silver stocks - except for DSV- do you see any news ? Thanks.

Q: I would like to diversify my gold miners into some silver miners. I already have PAAS. What would you suggest for a compliment to PAAS? And a brief reason why?

Q: What percentage of a balance portfolio would you recommend be allocated to precious metals? Would you have a higher allocation to either silver or to gold?
May I have your three or four top picks for silver companies. I currently own Pan American Silver.
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Dear Peter et al:

This is a follow up question to Brian's on December 02, 2025 on "Junior Silvers". You seem to like several Silver miners! SVM of course you recently included in Growth portfolio. You seem to like DSV, DPM,VZLA,AG,PAAS.....so my simple question is AT THIS POINT IN TIME, what are the Silver stocks that you think have good momentum, growth prospects, low or no debt and will do well even if Silver prices don't shoot up to 75!. (60$ seems to a reasonable target?).

I have AG and PAAS that stems from your previous answer to my question.

Many thanks.

Q: I bought PAAS in the spring and have done well with it. Looking to add another silver stock. Thoughts on DSV vs. SVM? Thank you.

Q: thoughts on their quarter this morning for DSV ?
thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team,
I have a small 1/4 position in DSV. What are your thoughts on DSV going forward? Should i bring it up to a full position?
Thank you,
Brent

Q: For what reasons is BCM being given a much lower market value than these other two with comparably-sized undeveloped primary silver deposits? Thanks.

Q: USA America Gold and Silver VS DSV Silver Corp Discovery .Which of the two would have greater potential growth and long term investment return 3-5 year hold.

Q: Hi, I'd like to add more gold/silver to my mix. I currently own THX, AUGO, and DSV. I am now considering adding APM and TDG. Before i do that, are there any other growth oriented precious metals that i should consider instead (dividends are optional bonus) ? thank you very much !

Q: Can you please comment on earnings yesterday for DSV ? Looks very strong and they are cleaning things up operationally at Porcupine.
The market liked the news.
thanks

Q: Can you comment on each one as to viability of investment and also list them from 1 up as 1 being best

Q: Can I get your thoughts on Capstone please? Seems to keep dropping and now with talk of tariffs and maybe smaller AI infrastructure, it’s not looking great. Would you still hold here? If not, do you have another recommendation for materials sector? CAD or US? My only other one in this sector is Agnico Eagle.

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.
