Galena ore can be smelted into lead and silver bars at a Smelter.
When galena ore is smelted, it will always produce one unit of lead bars. There is a fifty percent chance that the smelting operation will also produce one unit of silver bars in addition to the lead which it always produces.
Since galena is an ore of silver, it can be also used in a reaction as silver ore.
It is worth considering to smelt billon or electrum from galena, because this way you'll get more value. For example, if we have 8 galena and 8 gold nuggets, then smelting them individually will give 8 gold bars (value 1200), 8 lead bars (value 80) and, on average, 4 silver bars (value 200), to the total value of 1480. But smelting them to electrum will give 16 electrum bars with a value of 1600. Calculate in also that lead is one of the least valuable and versatile metals.
