I recently stumbled over an interesting article on Market Index re Silver companies (ASX). It's a little dated, so numbers won't be exact.

It's not often you see a nice summary like the following. (and making it to Market Index,, which is almost, but not quite mainstream, makes it more interesting)

All the usual suspects, but lists them in terms of stage, market cap, etc..
Old hand Silver Bugs will be only too aware, but for the newer bugs, it's an easy read, and I think worth a read.

It notes as far as I can see there are only two (quite new) producers. (doesn't include companies that produce as by -product of course),, with a market Cap of $1.3B and $1.4B.

A handful close or into PFS/DFS kind of stage,, MC's from $200m down to about $79m (ours truly since dropped to $34m since the article ) .

And the rest , not quite there , and being sub $40m.

So the attraction of an explorer being successful and making it to producer is obvious.

Picking a winner?

Your guess may be better than mine.. but I hope I've narrowed the odds a little sitting on a just a couple, out of 10 hopefuls. Of which all are sitting in that nice Lassonde zone of DFS/PFS stage? Sure, those more risk averse may not choose the lower MC companies.
