A friend has bought a bit of machinery that came from the Cadia goldmine in NSW and has found half a handful of black dust inside the bellyguard on the machine
I looked at it under a magnifier and you can see the gold fragments in the stuff
He rightfully owns the ore doesnt he ?
Its only an ounce or two in weight so its not like its going to buy a new ferrari but he wants ideas on how to best recover the gold
does anyone know if the ore can be crushed and panned or does it need a mercury or leaching process to extract ?
