Silver Buffs: An Investor Snapshot for SilverCrest Mines (TSX-V: SVL, OTCQX: STVZF)

November 22, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors issues releases the following mining company snapshot for silver stock, SilverCrest Mines (TSX-V: SVL ,OTCQX: STVZF), featuring expert commentary, recent news, videos and a summary of 2011 milestones and achievements.
SilverCrest Mines announced last Monday it had identified a large bulk tonnage target at La Joya; Hole 17, intercepting 205.2m Grading 92.7 gpt silver equivalent. Investors reacted sharply to the news and recognized the potential at La Joya; the stock had a record trading week.
For investors following gold and silver stocks, Eric Sprott of Sprott Asset Management says, "Silver is the investment of this decade!" .
According to the Silver Institute, a report prepared by Thomson Reuters GFMS states: "The forecasts for world silver investment will reach a record high total of $10 billion in 2011, representing a 66 percent increase over the $6 billion posted in 2010."
Investors continue to turn to precious metals as a safe haven as the Euro- zone debt crisis makes headlines . A recent quote from Eric Sprott supports investor sentiment ,"The ultimate destiny for gold and silver is that people will prefer to own those investments rather than have money in the bank."
What the analysts and experts say about Silver Stock, SilverCrest Mines:
Ron Struthers, Struthers Resource Stock Report (11/16/11) "SilverCrest Mines Inc. released a large number of drill results from the La Joya project. In addition to its own new holes, the company was given complete access to a database of 51 historic holes; the large database now in SilverCrest's possession hasn't simplified the geology but it has highlighted, in management's opinion, the potential for La Joya to host a large bulk-tonnage resource in addition to the higher-grade structures the company has focused on."
Nicholas Campbell, Canaccord Genuity (11/15/11) "SilverCrest Mines Inc.'s phase 1 26-hole drill program is complete. . .33 of the holes completed on the Main Mineralized Trend (MMT) have drill defined a semi-continuous mineralized zone over 1,000m by 500m to a vertical depth of up to 230m. . .we expect an initial silver resource in excess of 50 Moz with gold and copper by-products. The 44 historical drill holes completed outside the MMT demonstrates the potential to expand the mineralization. . .longer-term, we see potential for La Joya to develop into a 100+ Moz silver resource."
Morning Coffee (11/15/11 ) "SilverCrest Mines Inc. announced that data compilation for the phase I drilling program and a newly received historic database has identified a large, near-surface bulk tonnage target at its La Joya silver-copper-gold property in Durango, Mexico. . .the program has defined a 500x1,000m semi-continuous zone of mineralization with mineralization drilled to a depth of up to 230m with Ag eq values of 15-202 g/t. . .La Joya could host an initial silver resource in excess of 40 Moz, with significant upside potential."
Greg McCoach, Mining Speculator (11/8/11) "SilverCrest Mines Inc. is greatly undervalued and should be making significant gains when silver resumes its next trek higher. On the production front, the company announced they have had continued growth of silver and gold production in the third quarter 2011 from the Santa Elena mine located in Sonora, Mexico: Compared with Q211, silver production was up 43% to 106,636 oz and gold production was up 61% to 8,805 oz... .the Company is a Buy at current levels."
2011 Milestones and Achievements
SilverCrest had a tremendously exciting year in 2011, achieving a number of milestones which have paved the way for further production growth and exploration success in 2012 and beyond.
We met or exceeded our goals and expectations for 2011 in the following areas:
A bought deal financing of $30 million was completed in May and debt repayment was accelerated throughout the year.
  • Commercial production was declared in June at our flagship property, Santa Elena open pit, heap leach silver and gold mine.
  • Positive cash flow was reported in Q2 and Q3 with projected 2011 annual production expected to reach approximately 26,000 oz Au and 400,000 oz Ag.
  • Key executive and operating staff have been added to the already talented SilverCrest team.
  • An aggressive expansion plan that will include the construction of a conventional mill facility and underground resource development of Santa Elena to double current production to commence soon.
At the La Joya project in Durango a large, near-surface bulk tonnage target has been identified. A completed 26-hole drill program and a number of verified historical drill holes from a historic data package will be the basis of SVL's initial N 43-101 resource estimate by the end of 2011. A phase II drill program to begin soon.
"SilverCrest Mines Inc. is extraordinarily positioned in an exploding market sector with increasing production and cash flow, remarkable upside exploration potential and more than $32 million in cash, making it one of the premier investment vehicles in the silver space"

Investorideas.com Newswire News:
SilverCrest Mines Inc. announced Monday, that data compilation for the Phase I drilling program and a newly received historic database has identified a large, near-surface bulk tonnage target at its La Joya property in Durango, Mexico. The compilation by SilverCrest has involved data and/or drill core review of 51 historic holes (14,786 metres) and 26 Company drill holes (5,716 metres) totaling 20,502 metres of drilling in 77 holes on the property. Verification or validation work completed by an Independent Qualified Person included review of 22 historic holes, Company drill information, geologic mapping, sampling, geochemistry, and historic airborne and ground geophysics. The compilation of these data will be incorporated into the upcoming NI43-101 Technical Report and resource estimate.
All 26 SilverCrest drill holes and 27 historic drill holes (verified with assays) intersected polymetallic mineralization that includes silver (Ag), copper (Cu), gold (Au), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), tungsten (W) and molybdenum (Mo). Thirty three widely-spaced holes approximately 100 metres apart have identified a large, near-surface bulk tonnage target in the Phase I drilling area along the Main Mineralized Trend ("MMT") at La Joya.The MMT is defined, by using results from the Company's Phase I program and validated historic drill hole information, as a semi-continuous Ag-Cu-Au-Pb-Zn mineralized corridor with current "drilled-defined" dimensions of approximately 1,000 metres by 500 metres. The MMT includes a combination of wide vertical stockwork zones and multiple-stacked, polymetallic, stratabound horizons up to 230 metres in vertical thickness with grades ranging from 15.9 gpt to 202.4 gpt Ag equivalent*.
The remaining 44 holes that lie outside the Phase I drilling area have identified extensions to current mineralization along the MMT (see news release dated October 17, 2011) and have discovered a number of additional separate targets. Information from the historic database has extended the "overall" dimensions of the Main Mineralized Trend to greater than 2.5 kilometres in strike length by approximately one kilometre in width (see table on next page, attached maps and sections).

Cleantech Stock Alert: Juhl Wind (OTCBB: JUHL) Trades Up on News of 276% Increase in Third Quarter Revenue

Point Roberts, WA - November 17, 2011 (Investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire) Investorideas.com, a leader in renewable energy stock research, releases a trading and news alert for wind stock, Juhl Wind Inc. (OTCBB: JUHL).
As oil prices top the $100 barrel mark once again , investors that follow renewable energy stocks are looking for the winners within the sector. Following some major disappointments in solar stocks and the headlines of the Solyndra failure, a wind stock that is growing in revenue, net income and cash is gaining investor attention .
Juhl Wind's stock closed up 5% at $0.63 in Wednesday's trading session following Tuesday's news.
Juhl Wind, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results, Revenue Up 276%
Nine Months Revenue Increases over 245% from 2010, Company Holds Over $6 Million in Cash
Juhl Wind Inc. (OTCBB: JUHL), the Leader in Community Wind Power, reported Tuesday its results for the third quarter of 2011. Revenue for the third quarter 2011 was $3,259,000 compared to $867,000 in the third quarter of 2010, or an increase of 276%. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 , the Company posted a record $10.9 million in revenue and $2.4 million in net income. Juhl Wind also reported continued growth in its cash position due to development fees, ending the first nine months of 2011 with approximately $6 million in cash.
"We are very proud of our results through the third quarter of 2011 as we continue a historic year for our company," stated Dan Juhl , Chairman and CEO of Juhl Wind Inc. "Our financial results are a direct result of our work on six major wind projects during a very difficult time in our economy - which we believe is direct evidence of Juhl Wind 's leading position in the energy industry. These projects include Adams , Danielson, Grant County , Valley View, Winona County and Woodstock Municipal. We have fully developed, managed construction and brought most of these projects into full service over the past two years and will be wrapping up work on all of them in the last quarter of this year."
"When combined with our previous experience, these projects bring our total project count to 20 wind farms - a level reached by few independent firms in this sector," added John Mitola , President of Juhl Wind . "Our performance in the face of such a difficult environment speaks for itself and we are confident that these results create a very strong base for our future growth."
Results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011:
* Revenue for the first nine months of 2011 was $10,937,000 compared to $3,170,000 for 2010, or an increase of $7,767,000 , or 245%. Revenue for the third quarter 2011 was $3,259,000 compared to $867,000 in the third quarter of 2010, or an increase of 276%. The increase in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily attributable to approximately $5.0 million of wind farm development fee revenue from three wind farm projects that completed financing arrangements during 2011 and approximately $1.7 million in revenue from the sale of our development rights in the Crofton Hills project.
* Our Operating Income of approximately $4,264,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily attributable to the increased wind farm development fee revenue which provides high margin of profitability upon revenue recognition. Our operating income for the third quarter increased by approximately $1,019,000 , or 193%, from an operating loss of approximately $529,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to operating income of approximately $490,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 . The increase in operating income for the quarter is primarily related to the sale of our development rights on the Crofton Hills project although we did see increases in investor relations expenses to heighten exposure of Juhl Wind 's stock and operating expenses associated with the take-over of the Woodstock wind farm during its lower wind production months.
* Our Net Income of $2,419,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 represents a $4,328,000 improvement in the bottom-line from the comparative quarter a year ago. The increase in net income over the nine-month period is largely attributable to the increased revenue sources noted under revenue and operating income sections above. Our net income is impacted by inconsistent revenue patterns of our wind farm development services business as revenue recognition is significantly impacted by the timing of the completion and financing of wind farm projects.
* Basic and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.10 income per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compares to the $0.10 loss per common share for the comparative nine months ended in 2010.
* As of September 30, 2011 , the Company reported it held approximately $6.0 million in the form of cash and short term investments, which includes approximately $422,000 in balances that are restricted by a debt covenant.
A full analysis of results for the period ended September 30, 2011 is available in the Company's Form 10-Q, which is available on the Company's website at www.juhlwind.com.
