Intro

Is a historic silver shortage about to send prices vertical? Sprott Asset Management CIO Maria Smirnova says we’re five years into a 1.2-billion-ounce supply deficit, and industrial demand from EVs, solar panels, and AI-hungry data centers is only accelerating. With mine output falling, exchange inventories drained, and silver’s market a tiny $30 billion a year, just a flicker of Western investment could light the fuse.

Listen now to learn:

• Why the gold-to-silver ratio screams opportunity
• How EVs double silver loadings per car
• The East vs. West demand split (and what flips it)
• Why most silver is a by-product and why that caps supply
• The price level ($50) that could unleash new mines
