The invention discloses a method of determining silver content in rock minerals. The method comprises the following steps: preparing a silver standard storage solution; preparing a silver standard solution; determining absorbance of the silver standard storage solution by using an atomic absorption spectrometer and a silver hollow cathode lamp and drawing a working curve; taking a sample; adding nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, an ammonium fluoride solution and a sodium chlorate solution, carrying out microwave digestion, heating and drying an obtained mixed solution with steam, adding hydrochloric acid and nitric acid, dissolving solids, transferring an obtained solution to a volumetric flask, diluting the solution with distilled water until the liquid level of the solution reaches a scale mark, shaking up the solution, determining absorbance of silver in the obtained sample solution by using the atomic absorption spectrometer and the silver hollow cathode lamp, carrying out blank tests on associated samples, and calculating the concentration of silver in the sample according to a formula. The invention has the advantages of convenience, fastness, a small usage amount of reagents, low cost for determination and no discharge of a great amount of acid gas, is favorable for protecting environment and health of operational personnel, avoids loss of the sample inthe sample solution, enables precision of analysis to be enhanced, labor intensity to be reduced, time to be saved and work efficiency to be improved, and has a wide application scope.
