[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 202973, member: 357"] hey mate refining and smelting are two very different beasts. Smelting is what you do when you have nothing left but trace elements and the metal you are refining i.e. gold. normal chapmans is i believe 40 % Borax, 20 % Soda Ash, 20 % Manganese Dioxide with 20 % Silica I use 70/30 Borax / soda ash it works well for me this will burn anything away other than gold and a bit of silver and sometimes copper traces but i get around 97-98% pure gold when i sell it. one of tehse little bad boys will set you back about $200 from memory, works a treat comes with plenty of flux too [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/357/1446699028_furnaice.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
