Seems like a lot of work for 1000 oz. Do not put silver in your mouth lol chemicals used to process cyanide,lead who knows what else. Does your metal get used in Maple Leafs with 9999 pure?
@Trapster99 probably more than its worth on the current market, why they can do it is JP Morgan and other banks give them massive contracts to find and mine millions of ounces endlessly, the banks in turn sell these imaginary silver as silver certificates which drives the price lower with 'inflation', Google "JP Morgan silver scandel."
@TheTrueJBV3737 Well, True, that's probably a true assessment. But, with demand for physical silver in the market, at some point that game is gonna end....hard. Yep, I'm a silver stacker too.
@Trapster99 luckly a high percentage of this demand is mostly for ETFs and Cerficicates, lets smart people get out of the pyramid scheme before it crashes. if your wondering what pyramid scheme? I mean the entire current 'Monetary System' as they claim to call it. ;)
@pdxeddie1111 Most of the cyanide is recovered through a process then reused. Some cyanide is present in the tailings pond. Most people don't know that once cyanide hits oxygen and sunlight it breaks down.
@edrsilver It also emmits large volumes of CNH (wich is pretty hard to breakdown) into the atmosphere, its effects unknown. Also, that "breakdown" still precipitates heavy metals into the bottom of the tailings pond, and they have a documented tendency to infiltrate to underground waters. Another important fact is that after decades, the water still has over 10 mg/lt of cyanide ion, while standards for waste waters have a maximum of 2mg/lt for human consumption, and 0.05 for water ecosystems
@svankensen That not even considering the unknown effects of cyanometallic compunds, or the solid wastes, wich are highly alkaline. Still, im glad you use vat leaching, its much cleaner than heap leaching, but really, the ridiculous prices that silver is reaching allow for much cleaner production, cyanide leaching has been around for decades and has a constant history of industrial accidents.

@pdxeddie1111 Im just wondering because im fairly sure they recover it but what I'm curious about with the process that it takes even for copper miners to recover silver is how they can do it for so cheap? Some even claim as cheap as $5 an ounce and I find almost unbelievable. If way more expensive to mine than they say then it stands to reason silver is still cheap at its current price even though it only looks expensive
Our latest educational episode of the Silver Series is live. This one is entitled "The Value of Silver", and it looks at how and why silver is used as money. Find it on our channel page.
Actually, there WILL come a day - when we chop down the last tree on earth - that paper money really WILL have value (due to scarcity alone), because it will no longer be physically possible to print it. But, government and politicians will STILL be asshole morons at that time and STILL not legalize hemp and marijuana, even if they could print money from hemp. They WILL do whatever is the most ILLOGICAL and OPPRESSIVE.
@mphello American dollars for example are not printed on paper at all, cellulose in dollars comes from cotton. That is one.
And two, if it would really come to us cutting the last tree on the planet then value of money would be the very last thing to worry about.
Keep tryint to legalize marijuana, though. I am sure you will achieve so much by calling politicians "assholes" and "morons"... - that is sarcasm btw. I just feel I have to explain it or you would not be able to grasp it.
@Kwodlibet So, why are you preaching to the choir about cutting the last tree on the planet?
Here is something you don't have the mental ability to get: soldiers do a lot worse than just call people assholes and morons. They murder the opposing side. Would you prefer if we kill politicians? Because ultimately that is what it will take to change laws.
@mphello Exactly, the process involved makes silver much form valuable. Silver been criminally undervalued for so many corporate, banking & military crimes against humanity & the environment. This just can't continue & seeing how it's mined truly makes you realize what a bargain it still is.
Great Video, I use this for my middle school class after we complete a simple seperation of salt and pepper to show students' real authentic applications.
How much ore do you need to produce 1 tonne of silver?

How much does it cost to produce one ounce of silver from this mine??

what happens to the cyanide? Do they recover it for reuse or does it just seep into the ground water and they forget about it?
