The answer is mineral.
Silver occurs in the mineral form. The mineral is primarily produced as a byproduct when copper, zinc and lead ores undergo the mining process. In this case, the silver mineral occurs mostly within the ore.
Because of its high economic value and its rare occurrence, silver is called a precious metal.
