A chilly and rainy welcome from up north!

I was introduced to the topic of precious metal waste refinement by a recent friend and am interested in taking this pursuit further. I stumbled across these forums when exploring the parallel literature suggested in the book: Refining Precious Metal Wastes C.M. Hoke.

From first glance the people on this forum have lots to offer. I look forward to my future interactions with all of you here

Cheers

Thanks, I feel I have much reading to do

Any suggestions as to what post are a must read?

This is my suggested reading list for beginners:

The first rule is to be safe in everything you do. Before you jump into any of the processes you see discussed here, be sure you understand the potential hazards and do everything you can to minimize the risks. Read EVERYTHING in the Safety section of the forum, especially the Dealing with Waste topic. No amount of precious metal is worth jeopardizing your health or the health of those around you.
