[QUOTE="Metamorphic, post: 142956, member: 3682"] Apart from the presence of other 'rare earth' elements, precious metals do still remain within Black Sands and micro gold, almost at the atomic level, can be en capsuled in Magnetite and other minerals. The process of assay is rather time consuming and expensive however, and would be an option only for those with a keen interest in Chemistry, Metallurgy and other physical sciences involved in the changing of 'matter' as an experimental process alone i would think. As for the economically viable extraction of precious metals, it would simply be a waste of time and money not to mention the dangers involved with the temperatures needed to 'fracture' the black sands, the gases released, and/or the chemicals used in the process. It would be really cool to see this done by someone with a keen knowledge and interest in the process though. Regards [/QUOTE]
