Silver's 100-year journey has been a wild ride, swinging between Wall Street panics and major technological breakthroughs. This tangled history is reflected in its current price of $41.33 per ounce (as of September 11, 2025), a level that highlights its critical dual role in the modern world.

The global silver market is no longer defined by its historical roles in coinage or photography. A fundamental transformation has occurred, cementing a new foundation for demand built on technology and green energy. This isn't just a shift; it's a structural realignment where industrial applications have become the market's primary, non-negotiable driver.

In the vast, resource-rich territories of Canada, a modern exploration boom is underway. The prize? Lithium—the white gold powering our electrified future. While many follow the well-trodden path, some companies are taking a bolder approach, hunting for entirely new discoveries from the ground up. Brunswick Exploration (TSX.V: BRW) is one of those pioneers.

In the global race for clean, reliable energy, nuclear power is re-emerging as a key player. We often focus on the uranium that fuels the reactors, but the entire viability of the nuclear industry rests on a different, lesser-known material: fluorspar. This unassuming industrial mineral is the source of fluorine, an element so critical that without it, the modern nuclear fuel cycle would grind to a halt.

As the world accelerates towards an electric future, lithium has been crowned the king of the battery boom. It’s the element that gives the ubiquitous lithium-ion battery its name, and its supply chain is under constant scrutiny. But what if the key to unlocking the electric vehicle (EV) revolution lies not just in lithium, but in another, lesser-known mineral?

The global silver market is currently in the midst of a multi-year structural deficit, where total demand is consistently outpacing supply. According to the data presented in the Silver Survey 2025, published by the Silver Institute, this market imbalance has been a defining feature since 2021 and is projected to continue through 2025.

For years, Sweden's world-class uranium resources have been locked away by a government moratorium, a rich legacy made inaccessible to a world hungry for clean energy. But with a major political shift now underway to reopen the country to uranium mining, a historic opportunity is emerging.

Which has been the better long-term performer: gold or silver? In this latest infographic, we take a look at how gold and silver have performed head-to-head over the last sixty years.

While previous discussions have highlighted tin's surging price and evolving demand drivers, a critical part of the story lies on the horizon: a looming structural deficit in supply. According to detailed forecasts from the International Tin Association (ITA), without significant investment in new mining projects, the world is on track for a substantial tin shortfall by the end of the decade.

For market observers who follow precious metals, the Gold/Silver Ratio is a frequently cited metric. While it provides a simple snapshot of relative value, a deeper analysis of its history reveals a recurring pattern: significant upward movements in the price of silver have often followed periods where the Gold/Silver Ratio reached a peak.

Silver's role in the global economy is evolving significantly, as illustrated in our latest infographic. Data from the World Silver Survey 2025, presented in the infographic, indicates that total silver demand is projected to grow by +15.60%, from 993 million ounces (Moz) in 2016 to a forecast 1,148 Moz by 2025.

Our latest infographic on tin (featured above) highlights a significant upward trend in its price, which has climbed +675% since 2002. This sustained rise, more than a temporary fluctuation, reflects tin's growing importance in our modern world. Several key factors are driving this rally: robust demand from tech and green energy sectors, notable supply disruptions, and constrained global inventories, as market analyses have indicated (e.g., Oedigital, April 2, 2025)¹.

Industry analyses, including reports like the World Silver Survey, indicate these can stem from factors such as the maturation of major orebodies, shifting capital investment cycles, the extended timelines required for new mine development, fluctuating operational costs, and evolving regulatory environments in key silver-producing nations. This decrease from mining operations is a crucial factor in this year's overall market deficit.
