The largest Silver mine in the world, Mexico's Penasquito Mine, has been shut down for 2 months forcing it's owner, Newmont Mining, to DEFAULT on Silver Deliveries and declare a "Force Majeure!" A huge story by itself but the FACT that Newmont Mining chose to default on the forward delivery contracts instead of supplementing silver from other operations gives us a glimpse into just how scarce physical silver is!! BUY! BUY! BUY!
