Actually, more appropriately, where doesn’t it come from? None of the silver
that is refined has been mined for Academy Group. Instead, Academy Group
has made a considerable effort to harvest silver from a variety of sources.
We manufacture and sell silver recovery systems to photo-imaging locations,
purchase excess silver-bearing scrap from jewelry manufacturers as well as
collect spent silver targets from all over the country. The recovered silver is
then refined, processed, analyzed for quality and reformed into a variety of
materials used by the jewelry industry and industrial companies. Every ounce
recycled saves the energy and environmental impact of mining new metal.
