Silver has industrial applications. Gold just piles up.

But this industrial utility is a relatively new thing, compared to the gold standard.

If you only spend 20 minutes of the rest of your life on economics, go spend them here.

Of course. That's why I took the lesser quantity for silver and the greater for gold. Those are crustal abundance, so they should be of the order of mining availability. I've looked at your reference, however I think it is a projection that take present price and use, as primary source of silver get exhausted, the price will rise, so the demands will reduce and/or silver sources that are not now considered profitable will. Then there's recycling.
