MetalsFocus: The wave of silver mining mergers and acquisitions has not changed the overall outlook for future silver supply.

According to the Zhitong Finance APP, MetalsFocus has released its weekly report on precious metals, stating that after five consecutive years of sluggishness, global silver mining industry mergers and acquisitions are set to accelerate suddenly between 2024 and 2025. The disclosed M&A transaction amount over the two years has reached $14.3 billion, while the total transaction volume in the previous five years was only $244 million. Although the number of transactions has increased, the significant rise in total transaction volume is primarily driven by a few high-value deals, with the six largest transactions accounting for over 90% of the total transaction value.
