Some of the richest ore from this Mine was sent to a French Exhibition. The ore was noted as being some of the richest silver ore in the world, and was also exhibited in a big Exhibition in Glasgow in about (?) 1935. This Company, the Ohinemuri Gold and Silver Mines Company, recovered a lot of silver, two tons from two crushings.
The reserves on average hold 261 grams per ton of silver and a little over one gram per ton of gold. The mine has produced over twenty-one million ounces of silver, nearly seventy thousand ounces of gold, over seventeen thousand tonnes of lead, and over twenty thousand tonnes of zinc. A tonne is equivalent to a metric ton.

Some silver veins produced thousands of ounces of silver per ton! One vein that had been exposed by ancient glaciers was 27 inches wide and was exposed at the surface. This was originally discovered in 1904 at the La Rose mine, in the area between Lake Giroux and Kerr Lake, by surface trenching.
The estimated measured and indicated mineral resource was 8.645 million tons at 11.7 ounces of silver per ton, 0.1 ounce of gold per ton, 2.8 percent lead, and 8.1 percent zinc. In 2017 there were 414 local direct full-time-equivalent employees, part of a total of 975 direct, indirect, and induced employees.
During the big silver rush, over 6000 claims were staked on the surrounding hills, and the mines began to produce some extremely rich silver ore containing up to 1000 ounces per ton. The veins were very narrow, and the ores sometimes hard to process, but between 1862 and 1887 roughly $20 million worth of silver was produced in the Austin area.

Using this hypothetical value of 1 ozt./ton, each pound of ore would contain approximately 0.0005 ounces of gold. Now let's assume that gold is valued at $1500 per ounce. That would make the gold in a one pound ore sample worth approximately 75 cents, and this is assuming that the ore is extremely rich.
Average grades were 79 ounces per ton of silver (2,240 grams per ton of silver) and .118 ounces per ton of gold (3.35 grams per ton of gold). This is considered robust, high-grade material by any measure. Comparably many modern day miners can turn a profit at 1 gram of gold per ton.
The Sunshine Mine is located between the cities of Kellogg and Wallace in northern Idaho.It has been one of the world's largest and most profitable silver mines, having produced over 360 million ounces of silver by 2001. A 2007 Canadian report by Behre Dolbear & Company estimated measured and indicated resources of 31.51 million ounces of silver in 1.43 million tons at 21.8 ounces of silver ...

The mine was established in the 1880s and produced pyritic gold ore up to 1959. The mine also produced silver and copper with the ore estimated to produce as high as 20 ounces of silver, 112 ounces of gold and about 16.5% of copper per ton. It is estimated that mines in this location produce gold worth over 89 million U.S. dollars.
If we take their JAN-JUL total production of 1,040,257 oz and divide it by their processed ore of 43,460 metric tonnes, we get the 24 oz per tonne yield. Just to give you an sense of comparison, Alexco's Bellekeno mine produced silver at more than twice the ore grade than the two biggest silver miners in the world in 2011.
During its peak years some 150 tons of ore a day were sent to the Salt Lake Valley for smelting. By 1885 the Horn had produced more than $13 million and paid its shareholders $4 million in dividends. Some of its ore averaged 70 to 200 ounces of silver per ton. The …

the corrosion of native silver, and readily smelted with a charcoal fire. Galena oxidizes to the carbonate, cerussite (PbCO3), a small amount of which was found in the Roman villa at Llantwit Major, Glamorgan,a containing 0 *52 per cent silver (I70 oz./ton). This makes it one of the richest silver ores known in this country. (b) Methods of Smelting

In 2000, Canningtion mined 1.6 million tons of ore and produced 30 million ounces of silver at an average ore grade of 636 g/t. By 2011, it mined 3.1 million tons of ore (or 92% more) just to produce an additional 5 million ounces than it did eleven years ago. What is occurring at Cannington is typical of mines throughout the world.
