Plans Rapid Resource Expansion At Its 100% Owned Plomosas Project, Mexico

Silver prices struggled during Q4 2021, but with rising inflation and uncertainties within the macro markets, Silver could potentially be the top performing asset of 2022. Silver’s 52 week high/low is $28.55/21.52 respectively, and last traded at $23.03.

Silver has lagged behind gold over the summer, with the gold-silver ratio rising from 67 to 77. The ratio refers to the number of ounces of silver needed to buy one ounce of gold. Unlike gold, which is primarily traded for investment or jewelry production, silver is used in a range of industrial applications. That means silver price news could be affected by the outlook for global industrial activity.

GR Silver’s (TSX.V: GRSL) (OTCQB: GRSLF) Corporate Overview

GR Silver (TSX.V: GRSL) (OTCQB: GRSLF) currently has tremendous support from the street, with Beacon Securities and Echelon providing analysts coverage. On January 7th 2022, Echelon Capital Markets analyst Gabriel Gonzalez believes GR Silver Mining shares are "undervalued." The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Gonzalez commenced coverage on GR Silver Mining with a "speculative buy" recommendation and with a 60-cent share target. Analysts on average target the shares at $1.09. GR Silver is focused on its 100-per-cent-owned Plomosas project in Mexico. Mr. Gonzalez says in a note: "The Plomosas project currently hosts a combined 46.3Moz AgEq [silver equivalent] indicated and33.0Moz inferred (79.3Moz AgEq total) resource at the San Marcial, Plomosas and San Juan mine areas, located within less than seven km of each other. Given the pervasive hydrothermal breccia and vein hosted mineralization throughout the Plomosas project, we see continued attractive resource growth potential for the company. GR Silver shares are heavily discounted... Visibility on a growing property-wide resource and improved grade at the Plomosas resource could help to catalyze an increase in the company's EV/oz value relative to peers."
