Let’s hope there were no nasty elements in that rock ….
I agree, let’s hope so
Did you have an assay before smelting this?
Yes you had an assay?
What did it say and why did you re post this picture?
The most interesting is what else is in there.
Like Iron, Copper, Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury and such.
This will point to the process to use or not use further down the road.

Not much value in 1.6 oz silver per ton of ore - OK as a by-product but not so much as the primary value. If you're not sure what something is, then testing for 1 possibility isn't much use. Ultimately, recoverty is dependent on knowing everything present.

Silver is an excellent catalyst for Hydrogen Peroxide, so no wonder.
Why do you think so?
Do you have a NiS assay?
XRFs are not much to trust in ore identification.
Unless you have the correct libraries, a proper calibration and a skilled operator.
What we say, is that without an assay all you have is a nice rock.
There may or may not be Precious metals in there but without an assay no one knows.
And without a proper assay you will not know what toxic elements, if any is hiding in there.
