Shares of silver mining company stocks powered higher in Monday trading, with McEwen Mining (NYSE: MUX) rising 8.3%, Hecla Mining (NYSE: HL) climbing 8.5%, and Silvercorp Metals (NYSEMKT: SVM) closing up 11.7%. In a report released this morning, the World Bank predicted two dreary years of weak pricing for gold through 2022 -- but the news for silver investors is a whole lot happier. Gold prices closed Monday about $30 shy of the $1,800-an-ounce mark, but according to the World Bank, it could be a good long while before we see gold hit that mark.
