Richard Gray on the Two Real Drivers Behind Gold Price

"IAMGOLD and their niobium mine....."

That's funny because before today I don't think I ever heard the word. But I was just reading about a historical resource estimate of that very substance at Ucore Uranium's website, where they say they have a 96 million pound resource of niobium (among other heavy REE's) at their Bokan Mountain REE Project in Alaska.

Invest in Gold Miners, Silver Miners, or Both?

No mention of Alexco or MAG Silver? Though their share price isn't a match for SLW, PAAS or SSRI, IF there happens to be a downside move, these two wouldn't (in theory) move as far in that direction.
AXU has been mentioned in Seeking Alpha numerous times and now that they're all cashed up, thank to a deal with Silver Wheaton some months back, and on their way towards production, you definitely have to take a look at them.
MAG could be the object of a takeover, not to mention they have an excellent resource there in sunny old Mexico, with the drills continuing to turn.
Other than that, the author's right about a limited selection of QUALITY silver miners available to those in the know about silver stocks....
