- Silver is one of the earliest forms of metal, dating as far back as 3000 BC. However, not many people can explain its origin. So here's how this precious metal is produced.

Amazing, it seems impossible that silver is only around $25/oz these days with all the time and work that goes into it.
Most silver is mined in 3rd world countries I believe.
What those people need to work for a month long the average 1st world employee makes in a day or 2.
Gold is mostly mined in 1st world countries. Making it more expensive at the moment it's mined. Because our wages are higher.
@RedRingOfDead This definitely isn't true. Most silver is mined in Mexico. While Mexico suffers from cartels and violence, it's far from a third world country and is a democracy. Most gold comes from Russia, Ghana, Australia, China, and Indonesia. Gold is also more expensive because it's a far more rare earth metal than silver is. Silver and gold also cost the exact same in every country no matter where you are in the world.
@@Oblivisci........ Okay I never said I was 100% sure eh.
Although I think Russian gold will be an issue with current world affairs. And Russia does have 3th world wages compared to other places where gold is mined.
I was sure gold and silver where abundant in the same amount of m³T and good was just worth more because it's used in so much electronics and whatnot, together with the higher wages obviously.
Thanks mate
So I just got to figure out where to dig my own gold/ silver volcano and it will just come forth. Or mine the moon , it's shrinking anyway. Lighten it up, may come and start the earth over!!! It keeps going this way, needs it!
its not the work that makes it valueble. supply and demand are the kings when it comes to price
Silver is not made in earth crust, it’s made when stars die. The earth can move it around & create veins, but that’s about the gist of earth’s involvement in “making” silver - more like making it available to mine.
Awesome.... someone with a brain!
Is it forever on earth?
@@galvinstanley3235 define forever...even diamonds 'rust' away (revert to a different state of carbon) over time. As stars expel materials through space upon death, we invariably receive more materials in the form of meteorites / space dust caught in our gravity as they pass by...so yes, we will continue to receive more until it doesn't matter if we do or not 8)
@@galvinstanley3235Yes. It can form compounds with other elements, but the silver can still be converted to its elemental form.
Silver isn't made, it's mined. Big difference.
But silver can be made lol
It's made by nuclear fusion when stars explode.
The labor, time, equipment , fuel the whole process looks expensive so these mining companies have to be losing money at $25 an oz. If they’re making any money at all it has to be from the other minerals. This video confirms to me that silver at these prices is a steal!!
Silver is mostly a side product produced from other materials being mined; copper mining most likely as there are much higher concentrations than most other 'like found' elements; so cost of mining isn't as big a consideration as is refining...people gotta eat 8)
I have silver fever.
With everything that goes into it silver should atleast be $1000 an ounce and I am certain it will get there.
I think so too, all other precious metals are right about or well over $1,000/oz. and I don't care gold is more rare, silver is used way more than gold and always being depleted. Platinum is 2xs more rare than gold and it's half the price so silver could even be the most valuable of the 3 one day.
Silver is NOT "made", it is mined..... It already exists ...
Found the guy who reminded teachers to collect the homework at the end of class
God made it 🤓 so ur wrong buddy
Exactly, it is only refined
"Made" meaning as "made into" coins or bars.
@@holgerx541 Exactly, "Silver" as the word is used is not the raw ore, it's the coins or bars or whatever it's made into. If you went to a store to buy silver it's not ore. Idk how the two top comments are this pointless nitpick lmao.
I find silver to be far more beautiful than gold. Gold is boring to me.
I’m willing to bet that you have never had the experience of panning or sluicing gold. It is very easy to get hooked. But I get it. I love the argent metal, too. Silver is beautiful!
Good video subscribed
Silver is made in a stars supernova, this video is how it is mined and refined.
silver was made by God at Creation
According to Google,I don't know if I trust it, but we will run out of silver by 2028.
How can you run out of something that already exists and is virtually indestructible ?
Two cups of white sugar, twenty pounds of lead, five pounds of aluminium, six ounces of baking powder. Heat the mixture to 1200 degrees farenhiet, mix well. Add one ton of sterling silverware. Pour into moulds and let cool. Enjoy!
I’ll get right on that
This earned my subscription. Good stuff
Silver is formed by gigantic cosmic collisions and large star explosions.
It is, but you can make it at a cost of $200 an Ounce.
Via electrolysis and Saline.
silver was made by God at Creation
@@lepton31415 we are both correct
We are going to run out by 2028,I hope we can replace it with something else.
One of the dumbest things I’ve heard .. will never happen
wow
Mining Silver
I believe his title should read, “How Silver is Mine” what a big mistake this person has made
They dont know better 🤗
Unreal thumbnail.
No wonder there's a silver shortage. How do mines make a profit when it's available for under $25 bucks per ounce??
A lot of you people are nuts... Definition - made: made or formed in a particular place or by a particular process. Sure, stars started out making it. We finished the job for them to make it accessible to all. You can say the people and the stars worked together to make the stuff. I lot of you just want to not think and have no idea what you're talking about and I did na zi that coming.
The facts that bacteria can't grown on silver and gold can't tarnish lead me to believe that they belong in the ground with the other minerals. I see it from all perspectives. I've been stacking precious metals for a short period, do I understand the monetary end; however we don't completely understand that our planet is a lifeform, and we're just along for the ride.
You can own it and bury it at the same time 😂
Silver is not "made" it is discovered.
Neither was the Earth it was formed.
Yea you can also grow pure silver so no need to dig.....
Got made silver
you mean 'Got macht silber', ja? 8)
You can't make Silver! You can Refine it.
Fun fact- You can make silver...

respectfully disagree...elements can be made...process costs more than its worth (currently)...don't know that I would want to spend my time bombarding lighter materials with neutrons/protons in an accelerator to do so. cheaper to mine it; earth or other bodies in space first.
Silver isn't made in the industrial sense. It's made the same way all other elements heavier than Hydrogen - a stellar event.
Yea you can make silver ...

Very costly extraction of silver

Sorry, but I stopped at the 0.33 mark. If you can't be bothered to know how silver is made and give bad information then what's the point. If this is what is considered "educational" it's a fail. If its meant to be entertaining, I'll never know. Stopped at 0.33 and moved on to something better.
It should be titled “how silver is refined”. Silver has already been made before it’s mined.
