If silver is the primary metal you are mining, then of course you want your cyanide grabbing onto silver. If there is a lot of manganese in the ore (as there often is)......your silver recovery goes way down.
Same thing with a gold mine that has some silver....would be better gold recovery if the silver were not there. Wouldn't you rather have an ounce of gold, than an ounce of silver?
