CDE Coeur Mining Inc

The price of silver has been on the upswing this month as a weak US dollar and concerns about European sovereign debt raised investor demand for safe-haven assets. Silver is an interesting investment opportunity as it can be considered both a precious metal and an industrial metal. Besides jewellery, ornaments and utensils, silver is also used in electrical contacts and conductors, in mirrors and in catalysis of chemical reactions.

Growing industrial demand for silver in the international market is a fundamental reason behind silver's spike in price. New technologies in solar energy, water purification and medical instruments are expected to keep industrial demand for the metal surging going forward. In fact, a recent report released from The Silver Institute titled "The Future of Silver Industrial Demand" estimates that the amount of silver used for industrial purposes is estimated to rise to 665.9 million troy ounces by 2015, which would be a 36 percent increase from the 487 million used in 2010.

Those who believe that silver prices will remain near 31 year highs may be inclined to look into silver miners. Investors in silver miners are banking on rising earnings, as silver prices rise, to provide value.

Silver mining stocks tend to be more volatile, however. Last week several silver mining stocks saw their share prices plummet after Bolivia's leftist government said it might rescind concessions on several mines in the country.

On Monday shares of Hecla Mines fell close to eight percent after the company said it suspended operations at a mine in Idaho after an employee went missing as the mine's ground collapsed on Friday.
