I think the time is nearing to have my scrap gold processed. I have over 40,000 pounds of good clean circuit cards. Only about 1/3 are newer PC related motherboards and expansion cards. The other 2/3 are all older mainframe and minicomputer era boards and backplanes from the 70's and 80's. A large amount is IBM scrap(high in palladium) but lots of other manufacturers are represented. I also have 2,500 pounds of ceramic CPU chips. On top of this an unknown quantity of lower grade material like connectors. Easily 2 full 40' truckloads.
I am seeking a smelter/refiner to process this material. I had a lot processed about 15 years ago with less than desirable results. My preparation certainly contributed to the problem but I do not want to use the same facility.
I am seeking a firm who will incinerate and smelt the lot. One located on the West Coast would be more convenient but not necessary. I am not interested in a processor who only samples the lot such as most of the California operations like Xstrata and Metalor. The CPU chips could be split out and sent to a separate firm.
Anybody have any firms they could recommend, particularly a recommendation backed up with first hand experience?
Thanks
