Either one of those processes will work for those chips. If you have more time than nitric then AP is the way to go for removing the base metals and recovering your gold. On the other hand if nitric is readily available, you can process the chips in 35% nitric which will do the same thing in less time. Either way will remove the majority of your base metals, leaving gold foils and pins to be processed by AR. You could skip that step tho and go straight to AR and just dissolve everything together and then precipitate your values. I think you'll find if you remove the base metals before you go to refine your gold, you will have much better luck and much cleaner gold.
