I thought this press release from a silver mining company was interesting relative to the divergence between the miners and the metals which was featured last week.

By means of disclosure I have a very small trading position in this company, and as a caution I have to advise that it is highly volatile. As such I do not possess a profound knowledge of their operations. I do not like to mention individual companies at all, but it is difficult to reference a share buyback otherwise.

I tend to trade actively in the miners, and hold bullion, so I may not have this position for long even at the end of the week. This is in no way any endorsement of this company or any suggestion about its future performance.

I would expect other companies with the appropriate cash flows and positions to employ this type of relief from the short selling that has been plaguing them, as well as the headwinds of the recent stock market decline. But the divergence between miners and metals predates the stock market correction.

This might also be a period of acquisition and consolidation as we had seen in the Canadian juniors as oil made its moves higher.

The countervailing trend of course is the stock market weakness which weighs on all equities to varying degrees. A stock market 'crash' would hit the miners rather badly.

Generally I prefer to own bullion for the long term, rather than taking a leveraged play in the miners which are unsuitable for investment purposes for the average portfolio due to the risks which must be taken into account.

If you speculate with leverage, the odds are very high that you will lose money. I don't think I can state it more plainly than that.


SILVERCORP ANNOUNCES SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – June 17, 2011 – Silvercorp Metals Inc. ("Silvercorp" or the "Company") intends to commence a Normal Course Issuer Bid to acquire up to 10 million common shares from June 29, 2011 to June 28, 2012, representing 5.7% of the Company's 175,047,941 common shares currently issued and outstanding. The Company is taking this action because it believes that prevailing market conditions have resulted in Silvercorp's shares being undervalued relative to the immediate and long term value of Silvercorp's portfolio of producing and development properties in China and Canada.

Purchases will be made at the discretion of the Directors at prevailing market prices, through the facilities of the TSX and/or the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in compliance with regulatory requirements. There can be no assurance as to the precise number of shares that will be repurchased under the share repurchase program. Silvercorp may discontinue its purchases at any time, subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. The Company intends to hold all shares acquired under the issuer bid for cancellation. The Normal Course Issuer Bid is subject to regulatory approval.

Directors and senior officers of the Company are not aware of any previously undisclosed material changes or plans or proposals for material changes in the affairs of the Company, nor do any of them have the present intention to sell shares of the Company during the Normal Course Issuer Bid.
