As an armchair prospector, I know slightly less than zero. I was amazed at how glassy the slag was ! When you find that GREAT ore you are ready ! No testing\trying different recipes for your smelt !! Great work!!!
Yes, you are absolutely right. The reason why I’m attempting to try various methods is to see if there is any gold because I have an opportunity to mine at their claim. I have some other samples to work on as well. Blessings on you 💪🏻
I don’t know, JB. I’ve tried four different times and have not gotten anything. I don’t think the process and the mixture of the flux has anything to do with it. I don’t think there’s any gold in this ore. At this moment, I am cupelling a sample that I got 8 months ago. I had smelted the concentrate and got some gold. This time I just took 70 grams and some flux and I’ll see if I get anything? This will give me a good indication to my method and process.
