While Silver Wheaton (SLW +0.01%) remains one of the best-run companies in the silver sector, the company recently diversified by buying a series of gold streams. One of these gold streams was to come from Barrick Gold's (ABX 0.01%) Pascua-Lama mine that was recently delayed by roughly a year and a half due to cash concerns. While news for precious metals has been somewhat improved lately, particularly from the Federal Reserve, this is not great news for Silver Wheaton.
