you could be right - the demand for silver has increased. Although Alberta and much of the US has embraced oil for electricity generation, the cheaper way to go is solar and battery storage. That solar uses quite a bit of silver. Geo generation is also making a tentative move, be awhile before that comes on stream, but makes a lot of sense.

I think the key factor that will determine the price trajectory for silver is the response of production to price. Are there mines that can either increase production or start producing in a short time? The increasing cost of mining enters into this calculation, of course. The often-repeated Rule that the cure for high prices is high prices applies, but the response time influences the investment decision. In the case of uranium, there is ample uranium in the ground but no prospect of it adding to supply in the short term (a few years) at any price. What is the situation with silver? I have next to no stake in this, but it's an interesting topic of conversation.
