HOW RARE ARE GOLD AND SILVER?

From the crustal abundance of precious metals, we can also see that the gold-to-silver ratio in the earth’s crust is about 1:19. This means that there is roughly 19 times more silver than gold in the ground. 

However, the mining gold-to-silver ratio is about 1:9 – only 9 ounces of silver are mined for every one ounce of gold. The reality from mining is a stark difference from scientific estimates. 

General information about silver

"Most studies agree gold is overall the more rare of the two metals; however, above ground silver is actually more rare than gold. Estimates report gold is 5-7x more abundant above ground than silver. Beneath the surface, silver is approximately 19x more abundant than gold." (Google it for the source)

"Silver is 17.5 times more abundant in the Earth's crust than gold. But the amount of above-ground gold available far exceeds that of silver. " (Google it for the source)
