If you look at NIA's list of its Top 30 largest gaining stock/option/crypto picks of all time, 7 of them are silver stocks and 2 are SLV call options. This means that 30% of NIA's biggest success stories of all-time are directly related to silver!

Of the 7 silver stocks on the list, 4 of them are Mexican silver plays and that's not including Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM) formerly Silver Wheaton, which gained by 758.9% from NIA's suggestion price and purchases 40% of its silver from Mexico. If you read WPM's latest press release from December 11th, WPM announced the purchase of a new silver stream from Capstone Mining (TSX: CS)'s Cozamin Mine. CS's market cap is now up to CAD$1.079 billion and in CS's latest technical report for the Cozamin Mine it says, "There is renewed activity at several of the historic operations adjacent to Cozamin (e.g. past producer San Acacio Mine)".

On December 6th, DEF launched a 5,000m drilling campaign at its San Acacio project in Zacatecas, Mexico. Drilling has been prioritized on testing the Veta Grande Vein System in hanging wall structural offsets, the Veta Grande Structure at depth, and blind hanging wall and footwall veins outside of the known resource and historical mining areas. The San Acacio project has an inferred resource of 17,917,000 oz of silver equivalent grading 192.89 g/t silver equivalent.
