Where are you MOST likely to find silver deposits?
Silver is found in native form, alloyed with gold or combined with sulfur, arsenic, antimony or chlorine in ores such as argentite (Ag2S), horn silver (AgCl), and pyrargyrite (Ag3SbS3). The principal sources of silver are the ores of copper, copper-nickel, lead, and lead-zinc obtained from Peru, Mexico, China, Australia, Chile, Poland and Kosovo. Peru and Mexico have been mining silver since 1546 and are still major world producers. Top silver-producing mines are Proaño / Fresnillo (Mexico), Cannington (Queensland, Australia), Dukat (Russia), Uchucchacua (Peru) and Greens Creek mine (Alaska). The metal can also be produced during the electrolytic refining of copper and by the application of the Parkes process on lead metal obtained from lead ores that contain small amounts of silver. Commercial-grade fine silver is at least 99.9% pure silver, and purities greater than 99.999% are available. In 2007, Peru was the world's top producer of silver, closely followed by Mexico, according to the British Geological Survey
Is silver a sedimentary or igneous?
Silver is a metal element that is typically found in nature as a mineral within igneous and hydrothermal veins, rather than being a sedimentary rock component. It is primarily associated with volcanic and magmatic processes.
Does molten rock contain large crystals?

What does HM04 contain?

What is the ore lead?
Lead ore is a rock containing lead minerals typically galena (lead sulfide) or anglesite (lead sulfate). It is commonly mined for its lead content, which is used in various applications such as batteries, ammunition, and construction materials. Lead ore can also contain other metals like silver, zinc, and copper.
Would be considered a rock?

Is lead a proper rock?
Lead is found in a number of minerals, such as galena, vanadinite, and wulfenite. Most lead ore is present in rock veins that were created by deposition from mineral rich hot water that circulated in cracks and fissures in existing rock, and may contain additional valuable minerals as well.
What might sedimentary rock contain that igneous rocks would not?
