The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that analysts on average target the shares at $14. Mr. DeMarco says in a note, "Top pick, supported by NAV expansion from production growth at the Zgounder mine, in-mine and regional resource accretion, pipeline prospects including Boumadine, discounted valuation vs silver producers and the only pure-play silver producer on the TSX."
