Abstract
A silver ore was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to aid in the selection of an extraction process by documenting the distribution and association of elements found within a representative sampling of ore particles. Through the use of color image processing similar to that used by Krakow digital X-ray maps were acquired which showed elemental distributions indicative of mineral phases previously identified by X-ray powder diffraction. Prior to this investigation silver particles (<10 microns) were observed to be randomly distributed throughout the host rock which was primarily a silica gangue.
