gold yield from 20kg of cropped fingers

[stevem4323]

does anyone have any idea how much gold i could get from 20kg of cropped fingers just wondering if its worth while me proceeding

Steve I reckon between 40 and 60 grams of gold and if you can cyanide leach them it's by far the easiest method. If you can't or don't want to do that go for the AP method to remove the copper and leave the foils floating in your solution,filter and wash and then dissolve in either AR or clorox and then the precipitant of your choice.

I almost always got about 2 grams of gold for every pound of closely cut double sided computer fingers. I would put it somewhere in the 88 - 90 gram range before refining so about 80 grams 24k. Let us know what you get 8)

They will be well worth the effort, it's all a bonus over selling the boards intact and unstripped of easy to reclaim values.
