In this episode of the Exploring Mining podcast, host Cali Van Zant sits down with silver expert Peter Krauth—author of The Great Silver Bull and editor of Silver Stock Investor—for a focused look at the 2026 silver market outlook. Fresh from PDAC insights, Peter outlines the sixth consecutive year of global deficit, industrial demand now two-thirds of total usage (driven by solar + annual battery growth), and physical supply risks that could spark $15-20 price gaps on COMEX squeezes. He explains why the post-correction consolidation phase offers the ideal entry for silver mining stocks, with miners hitting up to 78% margins at higher prices, rising M&A potential, and top picks like Skeena Resources Limited (TSX: SKE, NYSE: SKE), AbraSilver Resource Corp. (TSX: ABRA; OTCQX: ABBRF), Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (NASDAQ:SCZM) (TSX.V:SCZ). Peter shares his barbell strategy (commodities + cash) and why North American plays deliver the best setup as the bull market shifts from awareness to mania. Tune in for his expert guidance on positioning before the next big move!
