The third quarter of 2025 served as a definitive stress test for the silver sector. While the average realized silver price reached $40.81 per ounce, the narrative on the ground was one of complex operational discipline. Official company filings reveal a landscape where mid-tier miners are aggressively rewriting the supply table through massive M&A and expansions, while industry giants navigate the technical transitions of maturing mines.

When we look at a solar panel, we see a sheet of blue or black glass. But if you were to zoom in—past the glass, past the anti-reflective coating, and down to the atomic level—you would find a precious metal doing the heavy lifting. Silver.

The infographic above tells a visual story of volatility, but the history of silver over the last 100 years is far more complex than a simple price chart can convey. It is a timeline defined by a struggle for identity: is silver money, or is it a critical industrial ingredient?

As of January 1, 2026, China is implementing export controls that threaten to starve the world’s solar and EV industries. This shift has been notably highlighted by Elon Musk and others. So, in light of these new controls, here is a brief history on China’s centuries-long obsession with silver.

The chart above tracks 65 years of price history, but the most compelling story isn't just the long-term trend, it’s the explosive price action happening right now. After decades of steady accumulation, the "Yellow Metal" has entered a new phase of price discovery, leaving historical resistance levels in the dust. Meanwhil

While long revered as a store of wealth, silver is undergoing a structural shift in its demand fundamentals. As the global economy accelerates toward electrification, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and green energy, silver has emerged as the indispensable backbone of the digital age. According to a new report by the Silver Institute, "Silver, The Next Generation Metal," the metal's superior electrical and thermal conductivity has made it an irreplaceable component in the ra

The past 23 months have delivered a stunning realignment in the world of asset performance. As of December 3, 2025, data reveals that Silver and Gold have not just outperformed traditional benchmarks like the S&P 500 and industrial metals like Copper—they have done so by a massive, triple-digit margin.

Silver's industrial utility is finally colliding with its physical scarcity. While silver prices have recently surged, hitting a new all-time high, that excitement is merely a reflection of a fundamental market shift. This analysis, based on data from the World Silver Survey 2025 (The Silver Institute), examines how the global silver market has fundamentally inverted, moving from a period of comfortable surplus to one defined by chronic structural deficits.

Gold and silver are foundational precious metals, yet their market performance has not always been identical. An analysis of their price history reveals periods of both parallel growth and significant divergence.

The silver market is currently in the spotlight, with the price of the metal recently trading above $48/oz in early October 2025. This price movement occurs alongside a long-term, fundamental trend in the market: a growing supply shortage.

Eloro Resources (TSX.V: ELO), a company focused on finding and evaluating mineral deposits, is a key player in the mining industry. With a seasoned team and a strategic focus on South America, Eloro has made a significant discovery: a vast silver-zinc-lead system adjacent to a high-grade tin system in the Bolivian tin belt. In just three years, the company transformed its Iska Iska prospect into a large-scale deposit with over 600 million tonnes of polymetallic mineralization

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.

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.

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.

Over the past decade, industrial demand has steadily claimed a larger share of global silver mine production. This trend reflects silver’s expanding role in technology and manufacturing, especially in areas such as renewable energy and electronics.

The global silver market is experiencing a notable shift, driven largely by surging industrial demand—particularly from the green energy and electronics sectors. According to the report, total silver demand is expected to reach 1.148 billion ounces this year, while supply is forecast at just 1.030 billion ounces. This shortfall marks the fifth consecutive year of market deficit.
