Silver production cost curve

Silver’s global demand in 2013 totaled approximately $25 billion USD. Global gold demand was just over $200 billion USD in 2013 or 8X’s the dollar volume of the year’s silver market. It is interesting to note that the all time estimated mined Gold-Silver ratio is about 8.8.

ADVERTISEMENTS: In economics, a cost curve is a graph of the costs of production as a function of total quantity produced. In a free market economy, productively efficient firms use these curves to find the optimal point of production, where they make the most profits. There are various types of cost curves, all related to […]

Primary silver production accounted for 30.4% and gold mining supplied 12.5% As The flatness of the gold cash cost curve makes gold $1,600 $1,800 $2,000 

From Fig. 2(a), it can be seen that the minimum of total production costs in EU copper smelters is similar to the Chinese average. Chilean smelters, on the other hand, as already seen, had much higher total production costs than EU, although Chile represented the majority of European imports of final copper products in 2012 and 2013.

It’s for this reason that most silver production costs tend to follow spot prices. When silver costs $24 per ounce, most mines saw AISC around $21-23. When silver prices fell to $20 or $17 per ounce, costs fell accordingly. Because much silver is mined as a by-product, the silver cost curve has a discontinuous shape, meaning that base production is relatively cheap – but to meaningfully ramp up supply, much more costly “pure” silver projects need to become economically viable.

Because much silver is mined as a by-product, the silver cost curve has a discontinuous shape, meaning that base production is relatively cheap -- but to meaningfully ramp up supply, much more costly “pure” silver projects need to become economically viable. Currently, the silver price is based on the silver production cost (90-95%) plus some supply and demand factors. While many believe the BIG BANKS can push the price of silver anywhere they see fit, this is pure nonsense. If the Big banks pushed the price of silver 25-50% below its average primary silver cost of production, traders would come in
