May 4 (Reuters) - Perth Mint's silver sales rose in April on strong demand, while gold sales eased due to lower output, the refiner said in a blog post on Tuesday.

Sales of silver minted products in April climbed to 1,798,210 ounces, up 12.4% from the prior month, but down 15% from a year ago.

"Demand for Australian Kangaroo 1oz silver bullion coins continued to outpace manufacturing capacity," said Neil Vance, General Manager Minted Products.

Silver prices XAG= rose over 6% in April, it's best performance this year so far.

Sales of gold coins and minted bars eased to 101,379 ounces in April, down 22% month-on-month and about 16% from a year earlier.

"We also sold every Australian Kangaroo 1oz gold bullion coin we could make," Vance said, adding that the output was, however, lower due to the fact that some coin presses were required to fulfil orders for the pure platinum version of Kangaroo coin series.

Benchmark spot gold prices XAU= registered their first monthly gain this year in April, gaining 3.6%.

The Perth Mint, owned by the government of Western Australia, refines more than 90% of the newly mined gold in Australia, one of the world's top gold producers.
