[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 85334, member: 487"] This vid is a touch confusing as the Borax is'nt as far as I can see doing any extracting until smelting, seems to be crushed, milled, then sluiced and panned out, then Borax just added to the final concentrate for smelting. I guess in the final concentrate the Borax may help release the Gold out of the heavies better than Mercury can. If you have panned/sluiced cons it may work well but not on crushed Sulphide ores it won't, they'd still need to be roasted I think. [/QUOTE]
