Perth Mint's Q1 Silver Bullion Sales
The Perth Mint has achieved more sell outs with news concerning recent silver bullion coin issues.


PERTH, AUSTRALIA, June 16, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- According to GFMS, the world's foremost precious metals consultancy, The Perth Mint's Kookaburra, Koala and Lunar silver bullion coin series accounted for 9% of world sales in the first quarter of 2010.

Dominating the market for silver bullion coins in South-East Asia, the Mint also took healthy slices of the markets in Japan and Europe, with 34% and 24% respectively, the report said.

The Mint expects to improve its position in the near future through a number of initiatives, including the commissioning of a new 1,000 tonnes coin-press and a new secure storage hub for bullion in Europe.

Perth Mint customers are urged to contact their usual suppliers promptly if they are still keen to acquire these popular issues before stocks run out, as the Mint has announced that they will not be making any more of these coins and the full 300,000 mintage of 2010 1oz Australian Kookaburra silver bullion coin has been entirely allocated to their international coin distribution network. Also, the entire 300,000 mintage of the 2009 1oz Year of the Ox silver bullion coin is similarly accounted for.
