silver wheatonとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Silver Wheaton (tsx:SLW, nyse:SLW) is a pure play silver mining company, the largest in the business of silver streaming. It produces over 23 million ounces and sells over 20 million ounces of silver mined by other companies as a by product (including Barrick Gold and Goldcorp). Because business is routed through a Cayman Islands subsidiary (Silver Wheaton Caymans Ltd.) it is able to avoid paying income tax; large silver streaming contracts have also meant that growth doesn't require capital expenditure (low risk). Although most agreements it makes are short term contracts at least one with the Penasquito mine in Mexico lasts the length of the mine's life. Most of the gold it sells comes from the Minto Mine in the Yukon, acquired in mid 2009 following the Cdn $190 million acquisition of Silverstone Resources Corp.
