[QUOTE="Nicko98, post: 430356, member: 8992"] Hey guys, thought I would put the question to you! Ive been out to an old mine site that was built primarily on the mining of lead and silver ore, in the form of galena. I collected some of the good stuff (about 20kg) from the old piles below the mine shafts and crushed it up in to a powder with a lump hammer. Took forever.. Ive tried multiple times using my little coke furnace (can exceed 2500 degrees) to melt the galena once I mix it with carbon in a graphite crucible, but I just cant get it to works Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks! Nicko [/QUOTE]
