Silver Geology, Resources & Assay

Deposit types, silver mineralogy, resources, exploration context, assaying, sampling and geometallurgy.

Epithermal, polymetallic vein, replacement and other deposit settings at a general level.

Shallow hydrothermal systems as an important silver-gold geological setting.

Silver associated with lead, zinc, copper and other sulfide minerals.

Narrow mineralized structures and the implications for mining selectivity.

How drilling, sampling and geological models support estimates of mineralized material.

How drill data supports geological interpretation without field drilling instructions.

Why representative samples and analytical quality control are essential to silver accounting.

Why coarse or unevenly distributed silver can make representative sampling difficult.

Connect geological domains with processing behavior.

Why valuable minerals must often be separated from gangue before concentration works well.
