Here is a little something I bet you did not know the new covid-19 Vaccine has Silver in it that's why silver is in high demand. (#Read this.!)
Medicine's growing silver use
Of all chemical elements, silver has the most powerful antibacterial action with the least toxicity to animal cells. Because like the other, more expensive precious metals, it interrupts the ability of bacteria cells to form certain chemical bonds essential to their survival. But cells in humans and other animals have thicker walls, and are so undisturbed.
When added to water, silver releases silver ions. These ions also kill and prevent biological growth, again disabling the metabolism of germs and hindering their membrane functions. The value of these properties has been known and used for centuries.
The Ancient Phoenicians, for instance, found they could keep water and other liquids fresh by storing them in silver-coated bottles. American pioneers 3,000 years later prevented dysentery, colds, and flu by putting silver dollars in milk bottles. Silver biocides are today found in hospital water systems, catheters, furniture and almost every tool in the operating theatre. Silver-copper ionisation has also been approved as a primary treatment for long-term control of legionella in air-cooling systems.
Silver nitrate was used in the late 1800s to cure new-born babies of certain eye infections, and doctors found that wounds healed faster with silver dressings. The metal was used in sutures for surgical wounds and to cure ulcers – a use which continues today, with silver-embedded bandages proven to be especially effective in healing the wounds of burn victims.
During the 1920s, over 3 million prescriptions per year were written in the US for medications containing silver. Due to the introduction of penicillin in the 1940s, antibiotics became the standard treatment for bacterial infections, and this use of silver diminished. But new scientific research has since allowed fresh expansion of the medical industry's use of silver.
Nanotechnology uses silver as an antimicrobial, reducing the metal to particles measured in billionths of a metre. This nanosilver acts as a catalyst for oxidation, generating oxygen from air or water which destroys the cell wall membranes of single-cell bacteria. Because it only "turns on" this reaction, it does not pollute the surrounding environment.
In sum, there is much more to silver than its historical use as a monetary metal, or its ongoing use in jewellery and investment. Industrial and technological use of silver accounts for well over half annual demand. That demand plays an important and changing part in helping set long-term price direction.

Goldcliff to Develop a Gold Based Cryptocurrency
December 07, 2017 08:50 ET | Source: Goldcliff Resource Corporation
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- George Sanders, President of Goldcliff Resource Corporation (“Goldcliff” or “the Company”) (TSX VENTURE:GCN) (OTC PINK:GCFFF) reports that Goldcliff has begun work to introduce a digital currency based on gold. This plan utilizes the Company’s existing assets, the DirectRoyalty platform and the Pine Grove gold development project. DirectRoyalty is an online crowdsourcing platform enabling investors to purchase fractional interests in precious metals royalties, streams, and advance sale arrangements, directly from producers.
The DirectRoyalty platform will be reconfigured on Blockchain technology. Blockchain functionality will facilitate users’ capability to receive and distribute funds in digital currency. This mining finance innovation will enable producers to deliver gold that will be used to provide a gold foundation to the to-be-issued digital currency.
It is proposed that the digital currency process will begin with an Initial Coin Offering (ICO). Goldcliff is currently examining regulatory compliance requirements with respect to ICOs to ensure that the ICO complies with the guidelines published by the Canadian Securities Administrators. Funding from the ICO would be used to close advance sale arrangements with gold developers/producers and to complete development of the platform. Gold producers will be paid a discounted upfront payment for a set amount of gold to be delivered to third party custodial agents as produced, over a pre-defined duration. Tokens purchased will entitle holders to a distribution from the owners’ share of the platform. The number of tokens issued will be according to the ounces purchased/delivered in a set ratio. This process ensures that the number of tokens issued is limited to the number of ounces delivered and therefore is non-dilutive and non-inflationary.
Goldcliff intends that its interest in the Pine Grove project in Lyon County, Nevada be utilized as one of the initial sources of gold for the ICO. The Pine Grove project is a potential open pit, heap leach gold operation currently commencing a pre-feasibility study. The Company is also in discussion with other gold operations that could also be included in the ICO. Initial Coin Offering funding of the Pine Grove project will be non-dilutive to the Company’s existing shareholders.
Goldcliff will continue to build a team of professional technical service providers and internal engineering staff for platform development. Concurrently, activity will continue to focus on legal and regulatory aspects to ensure that the DirectRoyalty platform is compliant with securities and crowd funding regulation and the cryptocurrency and ICO components of the platform are also regulatory compliant.
Paul Saxton, P. Eng. Director of Goldcliff is a "qualified person" under National Instrument 43-101, and has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this news release.
