The World’s largest silver producer saw its production decline significantly in April. According to Mexico’s INEGI – National Institute of Statistics and Geography, Mexico’s silver production dropped a stunning 12% in April compared to the same month last year.
Looking at the chart below, we can see Mexico’s silver production declined 58 metric tons (mt), from 484 in April last year down to 426 metric tons in 2015:
That’s a large decline in just one month. Mexico’s total silver production for the first four months of 2015 is down 5% (92 mt) compared to last year. Here is the data:
Jan-Apr 2014 = 1,893 mt
Jan-Apr 2015 = 1,801 mt.
This is the actually data released by Mexico’s INEGI:
The table shows silver production in Mexico declined the most in the larger regions such as, Zacatecas, Chihuahau, Durango and Sonara. Two of Mexico’s largest silver producing mines are located in Zacatecas… Fresnillo PLC’s Fresnillo Mine and GoldCrop’s Penasquito Mine.
Falling Mexican silver production could cause more stress on an already high-demand silver market this year. With India importing record silver, including elevated imports into the United States, we could see real shortages by the second half of the year if investment demand surges due to a financial contagion stemming from a Greek Exit of the European Union.
If you haven’t checked on THE SILVER CHART REPORT, there’s a great deal of information on the Silver Industry & Market not found in any single publication on the internet.
Most analysts focus on a certain area or sector of the silver market. However, the information in this report illuminates a holistic view of many sectors of the silver industry, capturing the relationships that connect many parts of the market.
One of the important aspects of my work is to look at many industries and markets from a bird’s-eye view. From this perspective, we can see how industries and markets impact each other to a much larger degree than by just focusing on individual sectors.

I use this bird’s-eye approach when I create my easy to understand charts. The Silver Chart Report is a collection of my top silver charts from articles published over the past six years, and includes in-depth, never-before-seen charts and content that indicate that silver is on the rise. There are 48 charts in the report, broken down in five sections.

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.
