MAG Silver (AMEX:MVG) Prime for Takeover?

MAG Silver a takeover target?

With MAG Silver (AMEX:MVG) almost doubling its share price over the last 12 months, and a plethora of high-quality properties under its control, you wonder if some larger companies are again thinking it may be the right time to swoop in and acquire them before their share price really shoots up and they become extremely expensive to own.

Their market cap is only a little over $357 million as of this writing, so would be very desirable, even with their price close to double what it was last March.

I think any company that does their homework would find MAG Silver an extraordinary buy, but the existing economic climate still makes any long-term acquisition somewhat risky for all but the mining companies with the deepest pockets.

While it's somewhat doubtful, MAG Silver could be left on its own, in which case they should do well over the next decade or so, and probably further. If not, they would still be a great acquisition for the right company.
