[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 674161, member: 4728"] Have used refiners like the Perth mint and also Peter Beck in Adelaide. Both charge for assays and you will encounter some melt loss but you will be paid full gold price. Becks offered gold price on the day of lodgement or day of refining as it is not done by XRF but by proper fire assay. After all costs and melt losses my return on my most recent lot of WA nuggets sent to Becks was about 93-94% of gold price based on the original weight (about 200 gr) of the unrefined and roughly cleaned nuggets which I thought was fair and certainly better than local gold “buyers” were offering. If you submit larger weights the percentage return should increase as the assay fee remains the same for moderate amounts. Becks used to offer an insured courier pick up service, not sure if they still do. Whoever you choose you should also be given an assay certificate or statement to detail the results of the process.
