The cost to produce silver by the leading primary mining companies hit a new record high in Q2 2024. Even the second largest silver producer in the world, Copper Miner, KGHM Polska Miedz, reported a dismal 6% profit margin.
Without the nearly $600 million in silver revenues, a by-product of copper mining, KGHM Polska Miedz would have suffered a loss. So, the idea that the Base Metal mining industry is giving its by-product silver away for free or at a low price DIED many years ago.
About the author
Independent researcher Steve St. Angelo (SRSrocco) started to invest in precious metals in 2002. Later on in 2008, he began researching areas of the gold and silver market that, curiously, the majority of the precious metal analyst community have left unexplored. These areas include how energy and the falling EROI – Energy Returned On Invested – stand to impact the mining industry, precious metals, paper assets, and the overall economy.
Steve considers studying the impacts of EROI one of the most important aspects of his energy research. For the past several years, he has written scholarly articles in some of the top precious metals and financial websites.
You can find many of Steve’s articles on noteworthy sites, such as GoldSeek-SilverSeek.com
