Before you begin, it is a good idea to check the market value of silver using the market tab on your “Y” menu to make sure nobody has sold silver recently to maximize your profits. It is also recommended to stop by the DMV and purchase a “silver processing license” as it is a prerequisite for processing the ore into ingots for sale. It is also necessary to take a pickaxe, which can be purchased at any market or gas station, as well as 3 [[Virtual Items|items]] of food and water to sustain yourself for the duration of the run. You will want to begin this venture by retrieving your vehicle of choice from the truck shop south-east of Athira. From there it will be a short drive out to the silver mine, which is located a short drive east of Athira where you will gather silver ore. Upon arrival, you will position yourself close to the silver mine icon on the map as within its proximity is the harvesting zone where you will be able to use your windows key to harvest the ore. The mine itself is nestled by a small hill and has abandoned construction equipment littered around that will make for good cover in a tight spot. The drive to the processor, directly north of the mine, will also be a quick drive as most of the terrain is flat, open fields allowing for quick travel on or off the roadways. | Before you begin, it is a good idea to check the market value of silver using the market tab on your “Y” menu to make sure nobody has sold silver recently to maximize your profits.

Introduction
One of the many legal runs that you can do on the island of Altis is silver mining. Silver is an ore found in the ground. can be processed into and sold as ingots and is one of the first recommended runs for newer players as its payout is viable enough for small to medium scale operations that can be increased with the use of a Worker's Protection License.
Starting the Run
Before you begin, it is a good idea to check the market value of silver using the market tab on your “Y” menu to make sure nobody has sold silver recently to maximize your profits. It is also recommended to stop by the DMV and purchase a “silver processing license” as it is a prerequisite for processing the ore into ingots for sale. It is also necessary to take a pickaxe, which can be purchased at any market or gas station, as well as 3 items of food and water to sustain yourself for the duration of the run. You will want to begin this venture by retrieving your vehicle of choice from the truck shop south-east of Athira. From there it will be a short drive out to the silver mine, which is located a short drive east of Athira where you will gather silver ore. Upon arrival, you will position yourself close to the silver mine icon on the map as within its proximity is the harvesting zone where you will be able to use your windows key to harvest the ore. The mine itself is nestled by a small hill and has abandoned construction equipment littered around that will make for good cover in a tight spot. The drive to the processor, directly north of the mine, will also be a quick drive as most of the terrain is flat, open fields allowing for quick travel on or off the roadways.
Processing
The Silver Processor will be found in a manufacturing building adjacent to a church with the processor itself in a small room with one entryway. This is one of the most defensible processors in Altis with the nearby buildings, forest, and stone walls that allow for quick cover if happened upon by Rebels. You will still need to keep an ear out for any approaching aerial or ground vehicles but you will be well protected while processing. There is a bonus for processing that will incrementally give you faster progress as you process more silver if you possess a Worker's Protection License which will make processing a lot quicker.
Selling
Once you are done processing you will travel to the east to the silver trader. The route defined in the picture below will be the safest as you will need to maintain a safe distance from the Athira Rebel Outpost as anybody you would encounter there would be more than happy to lift your hard-earned goods from the burning wreckage of your vehicle.
