[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1476224, member: 26302"]But the cost we look at sir IS for silver only mines. Byproduct costing is too messy, but anyone wishing to invest in silv should be aware of massive quantities of silver being mined and sold every year regardless of silver prices due to this activity. Cloud mentioned it before, then I looked into it, and it seems around $20-25 is the incremental costs of producing silver at a silver mine. Of course they could go lower than this on a short term basis, due to costs of closing mines. Any price above this is pure profit, and will subsequently encourage further production. As to ratios and the like, don't you think more gold is mined due to price rather than anything else? Gold is 50 times the price of silver, you can afford a lot more expenses chasing it than with silver. Btw, "I contend that it is in fact also decreasing in abundance below ground because of the decrease in this ratio which I attribute this to epithermal deposition which is science, not my opinion" You used both "I contend" and "I attribute", then say its science not opinion. :) Kinda sounds like a lot of personal opinion wrapped up in a sentence in which you claim there is no opinion in sir.[/QUOTE]
