New Silver Boom Opens Closed Mines in Colorado
Denver AP reports a major silver boom in the Colorado Rockies as long-closed mines along the Continental Divide reopen. Forty to fifty mines are restarting this year, aiming mainly for silver though many also yield gold, zinc, lead, and copper. Silver at about 1.30 an ounce could push state production toward 3.5 million this year and potentially 10 million next year if operations stay steady.
