I have a similar hand full of these exact chips. They will sit on the shelf a long time I'm sure... i doubt it will be worth processing just the few and i don't get gold caps to toss them in with.
I have about 20lbs of those I have no idea the yield I can expect from them though unfortunately
 
Although technically those are certainly quads (exterior pins on all 4 sides) I would "class" those as "gold cap" ceramic (quad) ICs --- & not just ceramic ICs ;) ;)

BIG difference in yields :p(y)(y) (as we know););)

I have +/- 290 gr (580 pieces) of these ceramics squares gold cap. I will process them these week, what can I expect as yeild, just to see if did a good job in refining.

Almost no dead weight of ceramic, just heavily plated lid and some remains of leg pads... That cannot go wrong :) I like when you dissolve this kind of material, you see gold in solution right away despite base metals present in the juice. Very satisfying to watch as you drop the gold the golden colour disappear and from the concentration of gold you will have after dissolution, very very dense gold powder precipitate :)
