> fabrication demand for silver in solders?

long gone once posted a number of 20,000 tonnes
Proposed silver solders are 3-4% silver
That equals 600-800 tonnes, 19.3-25.7 million ounces
Some transisiton to no-lead has probably occured, so maybe 20moz is a reasoanble first estimate.

P.S. I've read more and learned more about solder in the last few days than in over a decade in the electronics industry.
