ynthesize Silver Production III. Investment Strategies ? There are very few pure Silver producers available anywhere to invest in. The Silver supplydemand imbalance suggests significant outperformance of Gold as an investment. Silver is generally a biproduct of lead zinc and copper mines. Supply is inelastic until pure silver mines from Mexico, Peru and Argentina bee viable at much higher prices. ? Use of simple derivative contracts (with superior rated global banking institutions) allows AgAu Capital to convert Gold production to Silver production. Buy silver / Sell Gold contracts effectively converts 1 ounce of Gold production to 80 ounces of silver production. We expect the silver / gold ratio to fall from 80 to 1 at present to around 161 in the next 5 years. Gold/Silver Ratio III.
