And this is the difference between gold and silver. Gold sits around but silver corrodes and disappears. 90% of the silver mined has gone bye bye. So 90% of 14billion is 1.4bn ounces remaining.

From my calculations, there is about 5bn oz of silver in above ground form. And then add 2 billion more thats being hidden in particle accelerators and stuff. 7bn oz of available silver is reasonable.
