Little interest has been shown in silver by institutional investors so far this year. ETF sales have been the order of the day. Silver ETFs, for example, have fallen by just under 107 million ounces, or ten percent, since the beginning of the year. Retail demand, on the other hand, has been quite strong so far this year. As a result, premiums for certain investment products have been historically high. The reasons for silver investments are basically the same as for gold investments. They are inflation fears and geopolitical uncertainties. The advantage of silver is its lower price. Demand for physical investments reached its highest level since 2015 in early 2022, with particularly high demand from the U.S. and India. This concerned coins, silverware and jewelry. For example, jewelry demand is forecast to increase by around 15 percent this year. For silverware, the figure is expected to be as high as 20 percent.

Due to strong silver demand, inventories have declined significantly. Silver inventories in the Comex and LBMA vaults are now at their lowest levels since July 2017, and many analysts are predicting a silver deficit over the next few years. If gold rises in price, silver will follow suit and typically probably outperform gold.

That’s where Summa Silver – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i-e-fH8jZM – comes in, for example. The company has interests in the Hughes property (100 percent) in Nevada and an option on Mogollon (100 percent) in New Mexico. Both properties used to produce very successfully.

Sierra Madre Gold and Silver has the Tepic and La Tigra projects in Mexico in its portfolio, thus gold and silver in the ground. Both projects have prospective historical resource estimates.
