there is a particular process called The patio process. this process requires miners to crush the silver and whatever mineral it is attached to to fine slime or powder, then it is mixed with salt, water, magistral and Mercury, and spread in a 1-to-2-foot-thick (0.30 to 0.61 m) layer in a patio. the mixture then is heated to a very high temperature, the mercury begins to form a compact clump. than the salt, water, magistral and mercury separates itself from the silver.

Silver is found deep in the ground, so it must be mined. It is found in Africa, as well as South America.
