<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1313361, member: 29012&quot;]The caveat here is that supply and demand is determined by the paper market, not the physical market. The physical market does need a certain price range or else it won&#039;t be worth mining it, but silver is mostly mined as a byproduct. That statistic would change overnight if the price of silver got high enough for it to be the primary bread winner at a mine even with the same level of production (distinction based on profits, not production), but it&#039;s going to come out of the ground regardless unless other metals also become unprofitable. I would only expect the cost of production to be a factor for primary silver mines which are the minority. I wouldn&#039;t argue against economic laws being static, but when the variables being plugged in are not representative of the real market it takes away from their ability to function properly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
