Silver production and underground reserves

Mine production is one year's output. Underground reserves estimate silver that could be economically recovered. Neither measures how much silver residents own.

How the ratio is calculated

Fine-metal tonnes x 32,150.7465686 / 1,463,865,525 residents = fine troy ounces per resident. Display rounding never changes the underlying rank.

What is sourced and estimated

No globally comparable official silver reserve observation is asserted.

Fund, bullion and ornamental components are country-attributed research estimates.

Important context

Large bullion and ornamental demand supports a country anchor with a wide range.

Per-capita values are comparison ratios and are not investment advice or estimates of what a typical resident personally owns.
