Pan American Silver Eyes La Colorada Expansion As Cornerstone Growth Driver
Pan American's La Colorada expansion tells you everything about where silver's headed. When major producers commit capital to new high-grade discoveries, they're not gambling on $73 silver staying put. The revised PEA likely pencils in much higher silver prices to justify the capex. This is classic supply response lag in action. While industrial demand keeps climbing and investment flows accelerate, new production won't hit markets for years. PAAS knows this. Smart money follows the miners when they expand aggressively. Physical stackers should read this as validation of the silver thesis. Primary silver miners don't build for today's prices.
