Peru’s Emergency Decree No. [003-2026](tel:003-2026) to address a national energy crisis at state oil company Petroperú, increases operational risk for a country producing approximately 130 million ounces of silver annually and supplying roughly half of China’s silver-bearing concentrate imports. North America posted decade-low silver mine production in 2025 as ore grades declined in Mexico, the world’s largest silver-producing country. Higher silver prices have not offset the rising capital and operating costs required to access deeper, lower-grade ore.
