IHecla Mining and Silvercorp Metals because I expect the uptrend in silver prices to continue. The gold/silver ratio remains below historical averages, which typically indicates a lagging silver setup. Until the ratio normalizes, I see silver as an undervalued metal relative to gold. For me, Hecla is the core position in the silver sector: high proportion of primary silver production Strong cost structure and solid cash flow generation production in politically stable jurisdictions, which improves the risk and valuation profile Hecla offers clear operating leverage (cash flow and margin expansion) as the silver price rises I add Silvercorp as a high-conviction exposure: high leverage to the silver price due to strong production base additional upside potential through minor metals (lead/zinc) and exploration/expansion projects lower correlation to gold than pure gold mining stocks, therefore ideal for a pure silver thesis All in all, this is a thematic silver bet: I deliberately position myself in companies with a strong operating base and scalable cash flow, which should benefit disproportionately from a silver upswing - while the risk is partially cushioned by geographical stability (Hecla) and diversified metal components (Silvercorp).
