When junior mining companies make a big gold discovery, shareholders often see double- and triple-digit investment gains.

Of course, gold is very rare and making a significant discovery isn't easy.

But ask any geologist...

The best place to find large deposits of gold is close to where other major deposits have already been discovered.

Last week we discussed why now, more than ever, you should own silver as an important precious metal investment.

We talked about price ratios, diminishing global supply, government hoarding, and the recent trend of investors buying the precious metal up like there's no tomorrow.

But now, I want to get more specific.

If you’re like most Americans today, you’ve grown tired of hearing words like "inflation", "national debt", and "credit crisis".

For years now, it’s been hammered into your brain — the fact that your government has been writing checks it can’t cash, and in the process, diluting every cent you’ve managed to store away in your savings account.

An unprecedented crisis in the silver market could easily hand you a long series of double... triple... even quadruple investment gains.

And today I'll tell you how.

You probably already know that every commodity fortune ever made was created by an imbalance of supply and demand.

There's gold in that thar war!

Geologists working with the Pentagon claim to have discovered $1 trillion worth of precious and base metal deposits in Afghanistan.

U.S. and Afghan officials are hopeful that these mineral deposits will convert the war-torn country into a global mining giant, fundamentally altering the economy of Afghanistan and perhaps the war itself.

Continuing financial uncertainty is quickly boosting silver's appeal as a precious metal. And as a result, the white metal is rapidly the investment of choice for those who recognize its traditional role as a safe haven asset.

GFMS Ltd. – the world's leading authority on precious metal markets – reported that silver investment increased by a whopping 184% to 137 million ounces in 2009 compared to the previous year. This was the highest level in the past two decades.

Thanks to a booming resurgence in the global automobile industry, a rare speciality metal is gearing up for explosive profits.

One small group of investors has already raked in $22.19 million in profits since the beginning of February from this amazing natural resource.

And you can join them today with one simple investment.

An unprecedented crisis in the silver market could easily hand you a long series of double... triple... even quadruple investment gains.

Here's how...

I like gold. But I love silver.

That's simply because silver costs a small fraction of gold, yet it has the ability to deliver investors much larger gains during bull markets.

In certain instances when gold prices have doubled, the price of silver has tripled... quadrupled... and even outperformed gold by a factor of more than six-to-one!
