Silver for long term race!
Bring earlier stage projects for Silver! According to the World Silver Survey 2020 by Silver Institute, the main theme for mine output in the medium term is growth. This is partly due to a slight rise for mines already producing as operational improvements and expansions outweigh losses from grade decline and reserve depletion. We can also expect larger gains from new projects, both new primary silver projects (mainly in Mexico) and as a by-product. To avoid losses in the longer term (four to five years out), investment will be required to bring earlier stage projects into production as these are needed to replace lost output from reserve depletion, in both primary silver projects and assets where silver is a by-product. In addition, disruption from industrial action will likely continue, as a major share of silver production comes from jurisdictions recently prone to disruption and there is little to suggest this trend will cease. The outlook for recycling is ...
