Brien Lundin: Silver47 Is a Quality Silver Play in a Market Where Silver Stocks Leverage Silver

4 min read Rule Investment Media

Brien Lundin, filling in for Rick Rule on Rule Classroom Live, said he would have recommended Silver47 Exploration when it came public and calls it a quality silver company: roughly a quarter billion ounces of silver in inventory at grades over 300 g/t, an aim of a billion ounces, a reasonable market cap for what it holds, and steady news flow from multiple projects.

Investor angle

Lundin's framing: in a gold bull market, silver leverages gold and silver stocks leverage silver — so a funded, high-grade silver explorer like Silver47 (≈250 Moz at 300+ g/t across Red Mountain, Hughes and Mogollon, targeting 1 B Moz) is a leveraged expression of the monetary trend he expects to run. He would have recommended it but for a full portfolio, and flags ongoing news flow from multiple projects as the catalyst stream to watch.

When a listener asked Brien Lundin about Silver47 Exploration Corp during a live Rule Classroom interview, his answer was more direct than his usual hedge-where-I-can style. He knows the company from when it was coming public, looked into it closely, and says he would have recommended it then. He did not add it to his Gold Newsletter portfolio only because, in his words, his portfolio is "bursting at the seams" and he can only cover so many companies.

## What the inventory looks like

Lundin pointed to the company's projects as the core of the case. He named Red Mountain and Hughes in Nevada, and the Mogollon Project in New Mexico, which he says he has followed and liked for a long time, including when it sat with Allegiant Gold before Silver47 picked it up.

On scale and grade, he put it plainly: the company holds what he estimates at about a quarter billion ounces of silver in inventory, at good grades over 300 grams per tonne. Management is aiming for a billion ounces. Lundin likes that ambition — "it's good if you aim high," he said, because even falling short leaves something great. He added that the market cap is not demanding relative to what the company holds, and that multiple projects are generating a steady stream of news flow.

## Why the silver leverage argument matters here

Lundin framed the company inside his broader market view. We are, in his assessment, in a gold bull market for the monetary reasons he has repeated for months: governments have overspent, debt burdens are being refinanced at higher rates, and currencies will ultimately have to be depreciated — with France's bond-market stress an early warning of what lies ahead for other developed economies.

Within that view, his structure of the trade is layered. Silver leverages gold, and the silver stocks leverage silver. Companies like Silver47, he argued, are a way to take the monetary trend that is already in place and apply leverage to it. He expects silver to outperform gold for the bulk of this bull market, as it has in every monetarily driven bull market before, and silver equities to amplify that move further. "I'm very high on that company," he concluded.

## How he sizes the opportunity

Lundin also explained what he looks for across the junior mining "food chain," and Silver47 fits the explorer-style profile he described: great projects, adequate funding to explore them properly, capable management, and imminent news. In a fast-moving bull market, he said, you do not want dead money — catalysts matter. Silver47's flow of results from several projects is part of why he keeps it on his radar despite not covering it formally.

One honest caveat from the man himself: he does not currently own or recommend it. His Gold Newsletter portfolio is published for subscribers with full buys, holds, and performance, and he discloses what he personally owns. Silver47 simply did not make the cut, for capacity reasons rather than quality concerns — he was explicit that he would have recommended it if his coverage list allowed.

## The setup around the stock

For context, Lundin sees miners across the board as undervalued relative to metal prices, particularly producers, but he finds opportunity "all up and down the food chain" — from producers to developers to what he calls the "wild hair on fire" exploration stocks. He noted this exploration season is producing impressive results because more companies than ever are properly funded to drill their prospects. A silver explorer with a large, high-grade inventory, a stated billion-ounce ambition, and active news flow is positioned exactly where he says the leverage in this bull market sits.

The bottom line from the video: Lundin rates Silver47 as a quality silver project with a quarter billion ounces at grades above 300 g/t, a reasonable valuation for its assets, multiple active projects, and a leverage profile that fits his silver-over-gold stance for the rest of this monetary metals bull market. He has not formally recommended it, but only because his portfolio roster is full — not because the story falls short of his bar.
