[QUOTE="mudgee hunter, post: 570268, member: 9124"] I think it really depends on the size in your host material. A lot of crushers etc relied on micro stuff. Then as usual, it comes back to yield. Most gold out of quartz say was invisible to the naked eye. And that was just an accepted standard. Fact... the more you refine it.... the more micro gold is released. Small time hobby stuff. Keep your material in bucket batches. If it proves to be worthy to refine more... Turn it to talc. Get zip from that bucket.... chuck it... Label your samples, eg... where you got it exactly etc. Find an interesting peice of host... photograph it well before crushing it. Learn from your photos, area and results. Later on, build up to making a nice recovery sluice using Dustin's micro dream mat for recovery. Won't wrong with his mats. Cost is bugga all in reality [/QUOTE]
