I'm starting to wonder if perhaps it's not "50% chance to produce silver" but "50% of a full bar of silver will be produced."  Much like how melting weapons and stuff down to reclaim the metal stores fractional amounts of the metal at the smelter until a full bar can be produced, I think galena (and tetrahedrite) smelting only creates a fraction of a bar of silver, requiring multiple pieces of galena to produce a bar rather than just random chance.

:Nevermind that.  It actually '''is''' a chance to produce silver, at least in the 40d version - three smelters managed to produce two bars of silver total from one piece of ore each.  Still, I'm glad I proved myself wrong, though I feel kind of stupid for questioning it now.
