Silver Has a Mining Problem

Silver is more than just a precious metal; it's crucial for technology, medicine, and more. But there's a problem: silver mining can't keep up with growing demand.

In this video, we cover the gradual decline in silver mining output since 2016 and why upward price trends haven’t spurred new production. Plus, the surprising fact that most silver mines aren't even focused on silver, and a discovery that may change supply dynamics in the not-so-distant future.

Yeah the miners depleted their high grade ore when the Silver price was at it's lowest in order for them to save on mining cost. Now that the price is higher they have to deal with their lower grade ore. However, none of the miners ever participated in a lawsuit against the Silver Price manipulators. So, i would say: Their own fault. For Silver Investors it's only good news if they can't hold up production with the demand.

Miners should only sell silver in exchange for gold. or gold backed tokens. this is when the fun begins.

Didn't you also report in a recent video that Chyna is undercutting the paper pricing mechanisms by sourcing silver dore bars straight from the miners? That would also take a serious bite out of mining supply. I'm hearing that 90% coins are disappearing kind of quick.

What’s keeping the price so low? Lol, higher demand, lower value.

If not manipulated, the silver to dollar would be in line with each other.

So when is Poland going to start ramping up?

[johnbethea]

As the future silver comes in, the population need will highly increase.

[richardallen]

China buying silver ore direct from mines and shipping it to China where they process to bars, hence all bypassing the exchanges !

Thinking of retiring in Poland because of the strong border and safe, kind, ethniclly pure culture.

Hey, If you guys are a little short of silver I'd be willing to let you have all my buffalo's for only $100/oz.

silver has a demand problem. 1 billion chinese and 2 billions muslims buying close to zero INVESTMENT, monetary silver. I repeat - near zero, below 0.05 oz per capita.

BS!! 😂😂😂
The above-ground stock of silver is estimated to be around 1.5 to 2 billion ounces annually. However, when considering the cumulative amount, some estimates suggest there could be around 1 trillion ounces of silver in total above-ground stock.
Annual demand = 1.25 billion oz.
