Wow I didn't know the US was so far back on the list, but 36 million ounces is still a TON of Silver! Thanks Greg!
Well the data is from 2008, but I know that there are a lot of mines in Peru! I am surprised that the US is higher than Canada. I thought the Yukon Territory mined a lot of silver, but maybe they have more gold. Thanks Jim for your comment!
