Anyone with a naked short in the silver futures market risks getting squeezed by physical buying. Demand for delivery of Comex silver bars is rising, even as the paper price of the metal fell more than 4.5% last week.

Prime Mining Named to
TSX Venture Exchange Venture 50

Company Announcement
Wednesday, February 24, 2021

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada -- Prime Mining Corp. (TSX-V: PRYM, OTCQB: PRMNF, Frankfurt: A2PRDW) announces that it has been named to the 2021 TSX Venture 50, an annual ranking of top-performing listed companies from five industry sectors including mining, oil and gas, clean technology and life sciences, diversified industries, and technology.

The 2021 Venture 50 top performers were selected based on year-over-year performance across three equally weighted criteria: market capitalization growth, share price appreciation, and trading volume for the year ended December 31, 2020.

“We are extremely honored to be recognized and selected by the TSX Venture Exchange within the top 10 of mining companies,” said Daniel Kunz, CEO of Prime Mining.

"The past year has seen Prime Mining evolve on many fronts, including the advancement of our high-grade gold and silver deposit in Sinaloa, Mexico, and the addition of a strong, experienced management and technical team and strategic shareholders Trinity Partners and Pierre Lassonde." ...

It will happen when long contract holders discover, en masse, the paper they bought cannot be redeemed for the actual metal as expected. Instead they get cash-settled or, in the event of an outright default, they get nothing at all from insolvent counterparties.

Garrett Goggin has been keeping an eye on Comex silver deliveries. He notes a huge difference between this year and last. Delivery demand is roughly 20 times what it was for this period last year. It is approximately four times the previous record for the period set in 2010. ...
