Re: Lexington Strategic Silver Fund, Inc.
Registration No. 2-93307
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Lexington Strategic Silver Fund,
Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the
public offering of the Company's shares of Common Stock, par value
$.001, and on various other securities and general corporate matters.
We understand that, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, the Company has registered an indefinite number of shares
of Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933. We further understand
that, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 24f-2, the Company is filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission the Notice attached hereto
making definite the registration of shares of Common Stock (the
"Shares"), sold in reliance upon Rule 24f-2 during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1995.
We have reviewed, insofar as it relates or pertains to the
Company, the Company's Registration Statement on Form N-1A filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933
and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended to the date hereof,
pursuant to which Shares were sold (the "Registration Statement"). We
have also examined originals or copies certified or otherwise identified
<PAGE>
Lexington Strategic
Silver Fund, Inc. -2- August 18, 1995
to our satisfaction of such documents, corporate records and other
instruments we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of
this opinion. For purposes of such examination, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures and original documents and the conformity
to the original documents of all copies submitted.
We are members only of the New York Bar and do not purport
to be experts on the laws of any other state. Our opinion herein as to
Maryland law is based upon a limited inquiry thereof which we have
deemed appropriate under the circumstances.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
Shares have been duly and validly authorized and, assuming that the
Shares have been issued and sold in accordance with the Company's
Articles of Incorporation and Registration Statement, and that the
consideration received therefor was not less than the par value thereof,
the Shares which the Rule 24f-2 Notice attached hereto makes definite in
number were legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion with the Rule 24f-2
Notice attached hereto.
Very truly yours,
Kramer, Levin, Naftalis, Nessen, Kamin & Frankel
