Silver mining
Silverbearing ore typically contains very little silver, with much higher percentages of copper and lead. Specific minerals include argentite (Ag 2 S), chlorargyrite ("horn silver," AgCl), polybasite (Ag, Cu) 16 Sb 2 S 11), and proustite (Ag 3 AsS 3). Silver mainly occurs as a contaminant in chalcopyrite and galena, important ores of copper and lead, respectively.
