GOLD ASSAYS
|
|
Do
you have gold
in your
backyard?
Our assay only requires a small amount of soil. From less than half an
ounce of soil from your property, we can obtain an assay for the amount
of flour gold commonly found in the Northeastern US and Canada.
This gold is difficult to pan and almost impossible to see due to
staining and "patina" from weathering and soil chemicals. If you find
that you have gold on your property, we also know of methods that can
be used to extract it without digging! These same methods are useful
for decontamination of soils that have been polluted with heavy metals
such as lead and arsenic.
(Arsenic was used many years ago as an orchard spray.)

Plot maps are available from
your data. By making a grid pattern on your property and taking samples
at regular intervals, or even simply every 100 feet along a trail, we
will make you a map showing concentrations with computer assisted
interpolations. These plots are vital to planning gold and toxic metal
extraction procedures.

Gold
concentrations in Connecticut soils have been averaging 0.02 ounces
troy per ton with higher concentrations in certain areas reaching 0.4
oz/ton |
|
Many ores and tailings
contain mercury,
lead, and arsenic as well.

Thin Layer Chromatography is used to examine
samples for toxic metals content. it is not
unusual to find large amounts of iron and copper.

We can provide testing
services for
phyto-extraction of gold and toxic metals from your ore or soil. There
are many biological systems available that are being reviewed for
suitability. Every soil and ore presents a different challenge
There are also a number of bacterial and fungal agents
under study that show great promise for use in bioremediation and gold
recovery.
Chemical
purification of
scrap gold is available . Please contact us for details
