Precious metals worldwide - statistics & facts
The precious metals gold, silver, and platinum are among the most valuable commodities worldwide, with their value largely determined by their relative scarcity, and their definition as being precious relating to both their rarity and price. Aside from their beauty, precious metals all boast unique physical properties that make them invaluable for a variety of applications. Of the precious metals, silver is the most voluminously produced, while precious metal reserves follow a similar pattern, with silver reserves far outweighing those of gold and platinum group metals.
