<p>[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 1573297, member: 29012"]JJack, according to the Silver Institute supply does not meet demand each year except for maybe a couple exceptions years ago. I also don't see how they can go get any more silver mines than they are already getting. New operations are underway, but it's not like they have silver producing mines that could be getting tapped that are just sitting there dormant. Instead they are just called lead and zinc mines, but they are producing the same amount of silver regardless as long as the mine is running since those 3 metals always coexist. You are right that there's more plenty of silver in junk yards, but somebody still has to pay to recoup it. It's not so simple to get your silver out of a cell phone, and the numerous nano-silver applications are unrecoupable. I do agree that as price rises it will become more profitable to go get the harder to get silver, but for how high it would have to go for that to be cost effective I don't think those methods will have enough impact to bring the price back down to where it was before. You are correct that silver can be substituted, but it is incorrect that it can be substituted without a loss of quality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
