Investor behavior is the determining factor for the price of gold. For silver, economic changes and supply fluctuations have a greater influence. In general, gold is considered less volatile than silver, but in this regard, gold appears to have caught up somewhat. Nevertheless, not only is gold a safe haven, but silver is also increasingly of interest as a wealth preservation vehicle. Gold is typically mined as a primary product.

Silver is primarily produced as a byproduct of copper, lead, and zinc mining. If there are disruptions in these sectors, this also affects silver production. From a geographical perspective, gold production is relatively widely dispersed. Silver, on the other hand, is primarily mined in Latin America, for example in Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, or Chile. There are also differences in recycling; for gold, it accounts for about one-third of global supply. For silver, recycling meets only about 19 percent of demand. This is because the recovery of silver from solar cells, electronics, and industrial applications is usually uneconomical.

In terms of market dynamics, the gold market is larger and more liquid, significantly exceeding the trading volume of silver. Gold is therefore traded more frequently. Gold generally has a negative correlation with the stock market and is therefore considered a hedging precious metal. Experience shows that silver does not have such a strong stabilizing effect. However, silver often serves as a tactical complement to gold, as it amplifies both upward and downward movements in gold prices. Gold and silver are available, for example, from Sierra Madre Gold and Silver or Skeena Gold & Silver.

Skeena Gold & Silver - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/skeena-gold-silver-ltd/ - is developing a high-grade, low-cost gold-silver project (Eskay Creek) in British Columbia.

Two other projects that were previously in production are also in the spotlight.

Sierra Madre Gold and Silver - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/sierra-madre-gold-silver-ltd/ - successfully commenced production at its Guitarra project (gold and silver) in Mexico early last year.
