Silver refineries provide an economical and environmentally friendly precious metal recovery service. We are scrap silver buyers that specialize in separating silver from other precious metals and waste materials. Precious metal scrap such as silver leaf, silver metal foil and antique silver is weighed and then smelted. As the silver scrap liquefies in the furnace, borax and soda ash are mixed in to separate the pure silver from other precious and non-precious metals.

A sample is removed for assaying, which is the process of measuring the silver content. Assaying is critical for assuring customers who sell us their materials for silver refining that we fairly compensate our customers. For maximum accuracy, we use the Fire Assay and Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Spectrometry methods. The X-ray fluorescence (XRF) method may also be used as needed.
