The SIL/SLV Ratio Just Flashed a Major Buy Signal
When silver plunged by 26% to $85.31 per oz on January 30th, NIA highlighted the most important signal of that day… not the metal price itself, but what silver miners were doing beneath the surface.
The Global X Silver Miners ETF (SIL)/iShares Silver Trust (SLV) Ratio surged by 19.25% to 1.25, just one day after bottoming at an all-time low of 1.05 on January 29th. At that point, NIA explained that silver miners were already pricing in $58.28 per oz silver… well below spot… signaling capitulation and a major disconnect.
That signal is now playing out exactly as expected.
Despite silver falling another 8.64% this week to $77.94 per oz, SIL gained 3.28%, while the SIL/SLV Ratio jumped 11% to 1.39… clear evidence that miners are decoupling from the metal and re-rating higher.

If silver can simply hold near $77.94 per oz, the average silver miner stands to gain approximately 31.65% as the SIL/SLV Ratio normalizes back toward its 16-year average of 1.83.
NIA’s top silver picks all gained big today:
Highlander Silver (TSX: HSLV): +6.07% to $7.34
Minaurum Silver (TSXV: MGG): +10.34% to $0.48
Contango ORE (NYSE: CTGO): +5.87% to $27.07
All three are positioned to reach new all-time highs in the weeks and months ahead, as capital rotates toward companies creating real, long-term value… not extremely overvalued names like Hycroft Mining (HYMC).
Meanwhile, Lahontan Gold (TSXV: LG) surged 15.56% to a new two-year weekly closing high of $0.26, after confirming that its newly acquired West Santa Fe Project is a silver-rich system… a catalyst the market is only beginning to price in.
