Article Excerpt

United Mining Group, $1.25, symbol UMG on Toronto (Shares outstanding: 55.3 million; Market cap: $69.2 million, www.unitedmininggroup.com), provides mining services, including contract mining, to silver miners in Idaho’s Silver Valley. The company also owns a custom welding and fabrication shop. That lets it repair and rebuild its own equipment, as well as that of other mining companies. United Mining’s cash flow is positive. It is using its cash flow to earn an 80% interest in the Crescent silver mine, which is next to the Sunshine silver mine in the Silver Valley.
