After the Primary Silver Mining Industry enjoyed a brief increase in productivity over the past two years, it fell to the lowest ever in 2016.  The reason the average yield of the global silver mining industry increased in 2014 was due to the addition of Tahoe Resources high-grade Escobal Silver Mine.

Tahoe’s Escobal Silver Mine’s average yield in 2014 was an astonishing 16.3 ounce per ton (oz/t).  Not only did Escobal Mine enjoy one the highest silver yields in the world, it produced over 20 million oz (Moz) in 2014.  Thus, the addition of Tahoe to the Top Silver Miners pushed their average yield to 7.8 oz/t in 2014 versus 7.6 oz/t in 2013:

This Chart #11 was one of 48 Silver Charts in my 
THE SILVER CHART REPORT.  If you have not yet looked at this report, I highly recommend it for those who are interested in the silver market and industry. 
THE SILVER CHART REPORT.  provides information and analysis on the silver market and industry not found found in any other single report on the internet.

THE SILVER CHART REPORT. is a a collection of my top silver charts from articles published over the past six years, and includes in-depth, never-before-seen charts and content that indicate that silver is on the rise. There are 48 charts in the report, broken down in five sections:

The charts in these five sections give the investor a broad background of the silver industry and market. Silver will likely be one of the most sought-after physical assets in the future. Why? There are several factors that will impact its price (value) in the future, and they are explained thoroughly in 
THE SILVER CHART REPORT..

Now, what is very interesting about adding Tahoe’s Escobal super high-grade mine to the group, it didn’t move the average yield up that much…. only 0.2 0z/t to 7.8 oz/t.
