Peru followed with 2,991 tonnes of output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global production of silver totaled 25,516 tons last year; a 3.7% decrease compared to 2019, largely due to Covid-19 restrictions which required several major silver producers to temporarily halt production. The precious metal is also subject to price fluctuations, which are influenced by the performance of industrial metals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mexico\u2019s Fresnillo plc, the world\u2019s largest silver producing company, said mine extraction of the metal has shown a steady decline since 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The world\u2019s supply of silver comes primarily from two sources: mining production and recycled scrap. In 2020, mining production contributed 81.1% of the total silver supply, with scrap contributing 18.8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within mining, only 28.7% of silver come from mines dedicated to its extraction: 71.3% comes as a by-product from lead, zinc, copper and gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other major silver producing countries include Bolivia, Chile, Poland and Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mexico News Daily Staff.
