These Are The World’s Largest Silver-Producing Companies<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Silver is one of the world\u2019s most precious metals, holding an important position as a\u00a0tradeable commodity<\/a>\u00a0and an essential part of many industrial processes and necessary technologies such as the next-generation photovoltaics helping power the transition to clean energy.<\/p>\n

So, for this graphic, Visual Capitalist’s Alan Kennedy<\/a> used data from the Silver Institute\u2019s\u00a0World Silver Survey 2024<\/a>\u00a0to rank the top silver-producing companies of 2023.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Who Produces the Most Silver in 2023?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

In 2023, silver mining companies collectively produced 831 million ounces of silver with the top 20 companies contributing 43% of that total\u2014371 million ounces.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how this breaks down on a per-company basis:<\/p>\n

*Polymetal Intl. changed its name to Solidcore Resources following an acquisition in June 2024<\/em><\/p>\n

North America is home to 11 of the world\u2019s top 20 silver mining companies, including Mexican company Fresnillo, which produced the most silver last year, at 54 million ounces.<\/p>\n

Silver Industry Trends<\/h2>\n

Global production of silver dropped by 1% between 2022 and 2023, mainly driven by industry events that disrupted production, impacting several key silver-producing nations.<\/p>\n

For example, between Q2 and Q3 of 2023, industrial action saw the suspension of the Newmont Pe\u00f1asquito mine, and Argentina, as a whole, produced a lower grade of silver than expected in 2023.<\/p>\n

However, many companies in smaller silver producers, such as Chile, have partially offset this loss through increased production.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Silver in 2024\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Despite the challenges, there is hope for a potential production recovery from Mexican and U.S. mines in 2024. However, The Silver Institute expects total output from silver mining companies to fall by less than 1% again in 2024, with forecasts predicting an output of approximately 824 million ounces.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This expected production fall can be attributed to a drop in local production in Peru, where many productive mines have been temporarily closed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
