Nevertheless, the problems that silver miners face are multifaceted and will be discussed further in the following sections.
Inflation
The next trigger that catapults silver prices higher will likely be
associated with a notable rise in inflation that may already be in
process. The Producer Price Index (PPI) was up last month significantly
for the first time in a while and crude oil is again testing the
psychological $100 level.Still, inflation is a double edged sword for the miners since rising energy costs will be a huge drag on net earnings for these companies. This is especially true for the penny stock miners who are still in the exploration stage and will require revisionary financing going forward.
Tough Times for Miners
The entire mining sector has been miserable and positive sentiment is
getting pretty close to zero. This might indicate a bottom is near,
but the damage to the sector has been done. The industry also suffers from a shortage of experienced geologists, and financing for these mining projects is hard to come by as a rule.
Furthermore, most silver comes from byproduct mining because primary mines simply could not stay in business for the lean decades leading up to the most recent bull market in silver.
