New to the forum, thank you for you help. I have high sulfide ore from Colorado, I roasted my cons for 3hrs, I ran a magnet thru the cons, I mixed 40g of my ore with 120g of standard flux from Action Mining. Heated my oven to 1900 degrees, let it there for 30 minutes. Than poured it into a cone mold, out pops the lead button, I broke off the glass and put the lead in the Kepel at 1750 degrees for 45 minutes. Here's where I got lost, so I take it out of the oven and there is a button in the Kepel the size of a nickel. Since it was so big I thought that it needed more time in the oven so I put it back in the oven for 15 minutes. I open the door to see the button, it looks a little smaller, so I tooked it out of the oven, when I went to pick up the Kepel it comes a part. So I pick up all the pieces and put it back in a new kepel and put it back in the oven, waited a half hour, took it out and no button, just scrap from the broken kepel. So I'm confused about where my Gold is at. I'm using the same cons that I sent to 2 of the biggest Assay companies in the usa. Both Assays came back at 6.oz per ton. So there should be a gold button in that kepel. Can someone give me some direction. What am I missing. Thank you, jim
