Silver’s Secret Setup and The Overlooked Miner Ready to Surge

Here's the emerging powerhouse in mining that you should be following now.

“Next to gold, silver is the most esteemed of all metals, having been adopted for monetary use in nearly every part of the world.” - Pliny the Elder, circa 77 AD.

Since the dawn of organized trade, silver has served a dual role as both currency and a measure of wealth. Its use stretches back at least 4,000 years. Silver is prized for being durable, easily divisible and globally recognizable. From ancient Persia’s silver drachms to Spanish colonial Reales that fueled world commerce, silver has played a stabilizing role whenever societies faced instability, monetary debasement or wars.

For much of early American history, silver coins circulated freely and were a trusted medium of exchange right beside gold, anchoring the money supply in a bimetallic system. When the United States effectively abandoned the silver standard through the Coinage Act of 1873 under President Ulysses S. Grant, silver supporters labeled it the “Crime of ’73.”

That was decades before the 1944 Bretton Woods framework formalized gold as the backbone of international reserves, giving gold a decisive advantage over silver, which has continued through modern reserve asset classifications.

Yet, silver’s allure and monetary legacy have endured. Whenever confidence in fiat money weakens, silver’s centuries-long reputation as an honest store of value becomes more relevant. It is a monetary hedge with a long industrial shadow. That combination sets the stage for a breakout – and the analysis below shows why this deserves your serious attention right now.

Monetary Tailwinds Meet Industrial Anchors

As of June 28, 2025, silver was trading just over $36 per ounce. That is the highest sustained level since the early 2010s, extending a powerful uptrend that began in late 2023 from around $23. Over the past 18 months, this represents a gain of nearly 65%, driven by a mix of monetary, industrial, and geopolitical forces that remain in play.

The combination of these factors set the stage for silver to break out above its current band, with these conditions forming a clear roadmap to higher prices. The way these drivers are converging points to an opportunity the market is missing. There are three key reasons why this matters now.
