Help

[Ahk]

So I’ve bough about 19.5l s of square ceramic ic chip. I was wondering do any of you fine refiners could give me say a projection of what I might be able to expect for a yield. I’ve attached a photo any help would be greatly appreciated

I do not know how much to expect.
But are they all the same chips.
Same brand and date?

In general Motorola is a good brand for finding gold bond wires inside. You’d have to break one open though to check, and examine the broken edges with a loupe or microscope for bits of tiny gold bond wires sticking out of the plastic. The external leads end a bit inside the plastic, then the bond wires (either aluminum or gold) bridge from their ends to the edges of the silicon die in the center. So that in-between area is where to look for them, not near the outer edges of the chip and not at the very center either.

Are you sure they are ceramic?...

If so and they're a two-piece construction, you can stand one on the edges and give a good tap with a hammer. Sometimes, that will split the two halves so you can see the internals.

The one in the picture isn't ceramic. More of an epoxy type chip.

Thank you I’m really new to this so I have no idea at all yet. This forum has a lot of great knowledge floating about

Thank you I’m about to break one right now I’ll post a pic for y’all to check out.

I have no clue they don’t feel like their plastic though

Epoxy is a resin that hardens.
Caramic ones are usually not black.

Ohhhh ok thanks dude. You guys are a great help. How would you go about processing I have 19.5lbs

A long read but a thorough way to process this type chip. It isn't easy, but can be done.

Pyrolize , incinerate, grind, gravity separation and new incineration then smelting or leaching.

Search the forum.

A thorough search of each of these steps will lead you down a rabbit hole of knowledge. If you understand them, and apply them correctly, you will be way ahead for getting your gold out of these chips.

Ygg, you have been super responsive as a moderator, thank you. I hope Shark relieves some of the burden placed on you, so you can do some other things you like to do.

I second that, man you have all been so helpful I really appreciate it. I actually have been looking around this forum for a couple weeks I made my own nitric about 500ml from what I’ve learned here….thank you all very much
