A few insights:
Silver is both a financial asset (investment, store of value) and a
valuable industrial metal (electronics, solar panels, EVs, etc).
The world has about 650 000 metric tons of reserves, with 4
countries leading : Peru, Australia, Russia, China.
The world annual production of silver from the mine is about
25 000 metric tons with 3 leaders: Mexico, China, Peru.
The world needs more silver than it can supply since 2020.
The silver price went up drastically in Q4-2025 and is now (Q1-
2026) pretty unstable. This volatility is totally new.
In Indonesia, silver is recovered as a minor byproduct of copper
and gold mining.
Indonesia’s silver reserves are estimated to less than 10 000
metric tons, and the yearly production is about 1-2% of global
share at around 350 metric tons, of which 80% comes from one
single mine: Grasberg.
