New to gold and the forum

Hi everyone

I've just gained an interest in gold reclaiming and processing, so thought I'd join to learn a little more and share my experience once I get going.

I look forward to chatting to everyone

Thanks Phil,

I've certainly got a lot to learn but that's what I like doing. Out of interest, is it possible to refine say, PCBs or CPUs as a commercial business or are the processes highly regulated? I'll get reading today - Thanks again.

The depth,and severity,of the regulations are contingent on the processing methods you choose to utilize.Obviously acid,and cyanide extraction are two of the most regulated methods.And we have many members,some that just learned how to process a couple of years ago,that now do this for a living,and do quite well.The hardest part about all of this,is aquiring material at a price where you have a decent profit.If you are able to aquire your material for free,then you are doing great.
