Silver Running

I've heard that silver halide is running low ?

I've heard that silver halide is running low and this is a threat to traditional film photography. Is this true or just an urban myth?
Thanks.

Silver is often recovered as a byproduct of copper mining, and there is a worldwide shortage of copper right now. In fact, copper metal recently hit a price of $8000 per ton, an all-time high.The lack of copper availability might lead someone to expect a shortage of silver.

However, the copper shortage is caused by booming demand in China and other nations, not by an actual shortage of the metal. (If you disregard a recently-resolved strike at a copper mine in Peru.)

So, the claim of a silver halide shortage is bogus.
