Critical minerals are characterized by their indispensability for national security and the economy. And their supply is potentially at risk. The US also wants to reduce its dependence on raw material imports as much as possible. Why silver now? Because silver is not only important for the jewelry industry and can serve as a good store of value, but silver is also indispensable for the increasing technologization of our world. The photovoltaic industry, battery manufacturing, and the medical sector all need silver. In lithium batteries, for example, silver increases service life and reduces the risk of short circuits. A world without lithium-ion batteries is already unimaginable today.
There is a structural deficit on the supply side for silver, while demand continues to grow. Around 837 million ounces of silver will be missing this year, which is more than the global annual production. It should therefore come as no surprise that the price of silver has exceeded the US$40 mark after 14 years. Many analysts still see significant upside potential and believe that silver is significantly undervalued. However, investors now also seem to be recognizing the appeal of silver investments. Silver ETFs are also enjoying inflows at the moment. The gold-silver ratio has fallen and is only slightly above average. More than half of silver demand is absorbed by industry. It is good that there are mining companies that own silver in their projects.
Endeavour Silver – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/endeavour-silver-corp/ – is one of the successful producers. The company’s projects are located in Mexico, Chile, and Peru. The second quarter brought more ounces sold at higher realized prices.
Skeena Gold & Silver – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/skeena-gold-silver-ltd/ – is developing a high-grade gold-silver project (Eskay Creek) in British Columbia, and two previously producing projects are still in focus.
