Wow !!!
Interesting... I went through the slide show, however, it did not say where the silver came from... Must be mines in their native area..... Cheers, RickO
I suspect domestic silver is a by-product of gold and tin mining.

Gold.
—Kingsgate Consolidated ltd. of Australia owned and operated the Chatree gold mine in central Thailand. In fiscal year 2012 (which ran from the beginning of July 2011 to the end of June 2012), the company produced about 4,200 kg of gold and about 31,000 kg of silver. The company mined 5.7 Mt of ore during the year. Because the milled ore had a higher grade than the planned head grade, gold production increased by 75% from the 2,400 kg produced in 2011. Kingsgate’s new processing plant had an ore processing capacity of more than 5 million metric tons per year (Mt/yr), but operation of the new plant was delayed by 63 days in 2012 (Kingsgate Consolidated, ltd., 2013 p. 3).
