The principal sources of silver are the ores of copper, copper-nickel, lead, and lead-zinc obtained from Peru, Mexico, China, Australia, Chile, Polandand Serbia. Peru and Mexico have been mining silver since 1546 and are still major world producers. Top silver-producing mines are Mina_Proaño (Mexico), Cannington (Queensland, Australia), Dukat (Russia), Uchucchacua (Peru) and Greens Creek mine (Alaska).

When in full production, Cannington will become the world's largest single silver producer, representing about 6% of the world's primary silver production.
