Which countries produce the world’s silver?
In 2023, silver mines produced 830.5 million ounces of silver. That total is projected to decline by about 1 percent to 823.5 million ounces in 2024.
Associated Press reports that rescuers have been trying to reach a miner caught in a cave-in more than a mile underground.
The roof of a tunnel at the silver mine in northern Idaho collapsed where the 53-year-old miner and his brother were working.
