Quite frankly, I think the sentiment as a whole for junior miners is improving. That includes explorers and junior producers. Most of my shares have been doing well the past few weeks and the sector seems to be gaining momentum.

I read a lot about silver going to outperform gold in the short term because the gold/silver-ratio is showing bearish signals (see E. De Groot's chart here http://tinyurl.com/goldsilverratio). Nevertheless, I tend to stay away from buying silver as too much volatility is just not good for the heart.
