<p>[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 1315483, member: 29012"]Epithermal deposition is the reason I say the easy mining is over. If I recall correctly, mining operations used to pass up mines slated to produce less than 5 million oz because it wasn't worth the effort. Now they are actively seeking mines with 1 million oz. They have to continue going deeper in the ground and spending more on energy to get less metal out of the ground. The thing about epithermal deposition is that silver's melting point placed it primarily at the surface of the Earth's crust when the planet was formed. All the big, easy to find deposits have already been found, unless as someone else stated they start looking underwater, but that's hardly easy. If anybody has seen Chris Martenson's recent presentation about oil, there is a very strong case for rising prices in that market as discoveries have dropped off significantly in the last 40 years. I would be interested to learn more about what you're talking about though with natural gas. I hadn't heard of that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
