Someone trying to dilute the bad news for miners with some good? Looks to me like the narrative is being juiced - what do you think?

Fresnillo silver, gold output jumps on San Julian ramp up, higher ores writes mining.com. The company, which is the world's largest primary silver producer and Mexico's second-largest gold miner, said silver output in the three months to the end of June was 14.5 million ounces, 12% more than in the same period last year and up 7.3% from the first quarter of 2017.

So this month we have heard that number 2 in the world Tahoe Resources shut down, then Rio Tinto problems and now this storey from Fresnillo trying to get a bump in share purchases? Silver demand up? 400 billion in deficit - you bet there is demand! I wonder who is paying them spot plus for their silver?

Maybe I am am wrong - what say you?

Is it just me or does that picture seem like the entire mountain is made of silver with a couple of stripes of gold?
Good article. If the other producers are shutting down or having problems then Fresnillo won't have a problem in finding buyers. Do we happen to know their price on the stock market? Could be a bargain buy...
