This was a reflection of the overall decline in base metal production during the year. Although gold production was up slightly, the decrease in production of copper, lead, and zinc was more than enough to counter the gold output trend. Canadian silver production has been largely a coproduct of base metal and gold mining, subject to whatever mining incentive applies to the major product, whether gold, copper, or lead-zinc. Accordingly, silver output suffers when mines close or go on suspension for reasons involving supply, demand, and pricing for other major mineral commodities. Canada ranked fifth in world silver production after Mexico, Peru, the United States, and the Commonwealth of Independent States, formerly part of the Soviet Union.
