Re: SILVER TRO:ASX TriAusMin Great article!
With Silver going up TRO:ASX is getting more and more unappreciated everyday. This company is sitting on great deposit in Australia. They have lead, zinc, silver, some gold and I didnt mention that their silver deposit is very large.
The stock has been moving on up nicely. It closed in Toronto on the TSX today at .22cents (TOR: TSX). Last closed at .19 cents in Australia.
Here is some information from a recent article from Silicon investor in the USA on TriAusMin.

Prior to the financial meltdown in 2008 Triausmin had a market capitalization in excess of $125 million, today approximately $25 million.
This company is being viewed as a base metal company with out recognizing the significant silver and gold resource.
Comparable companies trading significantly higher.
At current prices the combined contained metal value is approximately $9.375 Billion. Projects are located in a mining friendly location with well established infrastructure. Newmont and Newcrest have very significant deposits and/or mines in the near vicinity.
Positive feasibility study confirms profit potential.
There is tremendous upside drilling potential. Aggressive drilling plans should be announced very soon.
The recent announcement that Sprott Asset Management will be funding the company for $3.2 million is extremely positive and should be a short term catalyst for the share price. Eric Sprott is considered one of the best asset managers in the world and one of the most vocal silver bulls.
In my opinion TOR.T is a grossly undervalued near term producer with tremendous upside drilling potential. The company has very good exposure to three of the strongest metals, silver, gold and copper. The company has been given zero value for it's tremendous exploration potential particularly at Lewis Ponds which was responsible for driving the predesessor's company's share price to over $4
