Hi guys,
I tried the search bar looking for a tutorial on how to separate the valuable metals from sulphides but it didn't return any relevant tutorials. I have ore's with a lot of sulphides in them. I'm waiting for my professional assays to come back to know the exact values I have in the ore but what I am looking for is a tutorial on how to refine the ore myself at home to see if I can get a decent home assay done also for my future hard rock prospects with sulphides. I have crushed my ore and panned it out and don't have any free gold but there are a lot of sulphides there that I would like to break down further.
I have posted a thread on the forum with some pictures of my ore's and the sulphides here:

I've read that the sulphides need to be burned off but I've yet to find a step by step tutorial explaining on where to go from there after the torching with the refining. I am also concerned that torching at too high a temperature could negatively affect the valuable metals etc.
Can anyone offer some guidance on where to look for the information I need to do this separation? I'm from BC Canada so also if anyone knows of any courses etc. in my area that teach these things that would be great to know about too.
Thank you
