How did you determined it is gold? Do you have assay at hand with composition of other metals and elements present on your rocks? You must know what is inside to chose the best procedure.

Yes it is a gold, I asked a Glod trader and he told me it contain gold and a lot of gold,, But about other materials ,, I don't know what materials inside it .
I will try the AQUA REGIA , But still searching for a detailed procedure for it

It is is not recommended process on treating ore. Believe me or not you might get better advice on some of various mining forums. Try mining section on this forum there you can find few guys who knows a lot about rocks and about correct procedures for extracting gold from ore.

 

[patnor1011]

AR is generally used for further purifying high karat gold not in your case extracting gold from matrix of unknown elements present. Your ore has to be pre treated and resulted concentrate may be suitable for AR but still it depend on what will be present in concentrate.

AR is aqua regia. One of the acceptable shortcuts or nicknames on the forum.
You don't want to use that anyway. Refining rocks and ore have to be treated differently than metals.
Its tough for a newcomer to start out with ore. You have to do some studying, and possibly get an assay done if you have enough material.

I could not agree more! How did this Gold trader find out that there was a "lot" of gold inside this?If I were you,I would have an xrf assay done,and sell it.Most ore contains less than 1/2 oz of gold per ton. And you have 33 pounds.At .5oz per ton that would be about $13 in gold.

Most people find fools gold and think they have gold (that is why they call it fools gold).

Lucky for you it looks like pyrite to me.

Do not try acids on this rock; you could die from arsenic poisoning.

If you have own tons of this rock get an assay, but then again if you live in US you would probably not be able to mine it (too much equipment, expense, and environmental laws, and unless it was terribly profitable and you could prove many tons of this you probably could not even sell the mine to a mining company.


I would collect them and make a rock wall or fence, or road.

But maybe that’s why I am not rich, but I have enough rock to build my wall, I have already made my road out of all the rock I was trying to get gold from.
