[QUOTE="GoldCheddar2005, post: 81536, member: 2663"] Silver oxidises rapidly, I m assuming it is recovered very similarly to gold, however pure silver will oxidise, hence having to add an alloy. Ironically, I am finding sphalerite alongside it. As I go into my degree and do metallurgy and processing hopefully I will be able to figure it out. Extremely high heat is needed such as in a kiln, upwards of 2000 degrees Celsius to avoid oxidising it. [/QUOTE]
