Silver (Ag) • Silver, found in nature, has been used for centuries. By 2,000 BCE mining and smelting (extracting metal from its ore by a process of heating and melting) was common. From 500 BCE to 100 BCE, Laurium silver was a major source of silver in Ancient Greece. • By the 16th century, Spanish conquistadors discovered Silver mines in Bolivia, Mexico, Peru, etc., and now, those countries are some of the main providers of the world’s silver.
