Gerald:

I cut corners trying to be brief (which is not my fundamental nature). I should have said that copper consumption is not likely to exceed a 2% curve, so by-product silver production will follow suit.

SX/EW process produces low recoveries of PMs because sulphuric acid is not a good solvent for the silver oxides and is exceptionally poor solvent for gold.
