hello! newbie here.

Hello everybody...

I'm alvin from Melbourne, Australia. Originally from Singapore though.

I've been stacking silver and gold for awhile (came from silvertstackers.com)

But thought about why not "mine" for my own gold in my free time, and though, as a chemical engineering student, i dont really have much free time, it really is quite addictive reading about refining the shiny stuff. I've started on hoke for now, but am also seeking e-waste to hoard till i am ready.

also hoping that this hobby could strengthen my portfolio and help me make an easier entry into metallurgical engineering.

I'm also a huge fan of japanese performance cars, although that has nothing to do with this forum. hahaaha

Welcome to the forum a great place to get an education in metallurgy.

It also looks like you know where to begin, C.M. Hoke's is a great teacher.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Hoke is a very engaging book, in fact, so engaging that its taking up more of my time than it's supposed to. I've had to resort to putting it away till 3 weeks later.

Hi Alvin,

Eugene here from Singapore. Recently the government has waived GST on international hallmark gold 99.5% above purity.

I think it's the right time to set up a refinery in Singapore. What do you think?

Cheers
Eugene

interesting. i knew a eugene from the army...

that's assuming you can get enough free electronic waste to refine, personally, i don't think its a bad idea, but the whole getting your name out there and competing with our government for scrap is going to be a huge task
