The method, modified for Mexican conditions and called in Mexico the patio process, was very quickly used throughout the Spanish New World. Lubricated by water, the silver (or gold) ore was ground in circular stone mills worked by mules until it was a wet paste. The paste was spread out in the shade (in a patio) and sprinkled with mercury, salt, and copper sulfate, and men or mules walked over it, sometimes for weeks, until it was thoroughly mixed. It was then washed through, and the remaining amalgam was squeezed and then heated to drive off the mercury and leave behind the gold and silver.
