Especially since they have to be ran in AR multiple times, with the valuables cementing on remaining base metal, over and over and over again until they are concentrated and able to solubilize the gold without a bunch of garbage.
They look beautiful though.
So, I too got a few lbs of them thrown in a bulk buy when I had the chance a couple weeks ago, along with some other decent looking scrap. I knew from the recent toll venture that it wasnt worth running, but I wanted to take a shot at ebay. Afterall, they look pretty..thats what people on ebay care about, it seems.
They did very, very well on ebay. Getting about 3x the gold value. (Around 1g a lb is what I yielded, a little less I think -some had visible bond wires, most did not)
I highly suggest that ebay route!
-good luck shark!

Wouldn't work, how would you make contact with every metal part after crushing the chip?nickton said:how about reverse electroplating after crushing?
