INFORMACIÓN RELEVANTE

Silver is a metal that has great thermal and electrical conductivity properties -more than those of gold and copper- and for this reason it has applications in electronics. But due to its high cost, it is not used in large quantities as one might think.

In its pure state, silver is quite soft, its color is white and when polished it acquires a brilliant color capable of reflecting 95% of the light. Silver has given great mining fame to our country. Thanks to the wealth of this metal, Mexico is the main producer worldwide, as well as being the metal that is most produced in the country.
