Within only hours after the story broke globally that the Perth Mint ran out of 100 oz bars, this same mint quickly issued the press release below. It appears they managed to scrounge together a very limited supply 100 oz bars but are now "temporarily" out of 10 oz and 1 kg bars.

100 oz Bars Back In Stock

David Kerbey - Perth Mint

February 10, 2011

I recently informed clients via this blog that 100oz silver bars were unlikely to be available on www.perthmintbullion.com again before March.

On January 27, I wrote: “Regarding supply of 100oz silver bars….. these bars are just suffering a temporary shortage due to demand and general production pressures. Our online store has some available today but restocking probably wont occur until March.”

Today, I am pleased to let you know that we have been able to re-stock earlier than expected, but quantities are still very limited! Unfortunately, 10oz and 1 kilo bars are now temporarily out of stock.
