Enigma,

<<It is easy - the mint refines the silver out of the gold bar and credits the producer with the value.>>

I appreciate this ... however keep in mind that when the mine/recovery plan is developed, it is designed to optimize the recovery of the primary metal ... whether it be gold or a base metal ... so while they do recover some silver, it certainly is not maximized.

Best to you,
