@ExtractingMetals8 ай бұрын
@@robertchapin3683 it’s worth way more than $100K. There is about 190,000 tons of gold available that has been mined and about 50,000 tons still in the ground. That is about enough for every human being on earth to only have 1 ounce of Gold. The value of Gold can not be measured properly in dollars.

This was the most excellent series you've ever produced. It proves without a doubt that Sreetips sets the "Gold Standard" of KZbin Gold refiners. I hope that bar is going into the Sreetips Deep Underground Super Secure Gold Vault. Also, good save their at the end my friend 24:31.

I and my family are originally from rural southeast Kentucky where not too many know about acid chemistry, reactivity of metals, etc. NOT common knowledge amongst hillbilly folk. I delighted in telling my mother about your processes and the science behind them. Where usually she, a bonafide Mountain Girl with a 10th grade formal education, doesn't quite grasp chemistry, the context of refining "precious" metals gave her a good mental fix on grasping the concepts. Of course, I was only explaining what I had learned by watching your channel. Educational value, sir! Carry on!

Having worked in an organic chemistry lab in college, I know that feeling of watching an experiment get away from you. I was worried you would lose some product to the process of getting it all working together again. Happened to me a couple of times. Still, you wrangled it back, and nailed the perfect pour on the bar. Poor crucible did a great job, but the gold was just too much for the cast, sad that it would cost a worthy tool for a most momentous success. These last four videos have showcased your best work online.
@williamfoote28888 ай бұрын
As a fellow chemist, my only technique critique is on the number of transfer. It builds in a loss of some unknown size over the whole process. The beauty of THIS process is that any losses are contained and show up a ‘free’ gold when things like ‘gold refining waste’ and anode sludges are worked up. No harm, no foul.
@sreetips8 ай бұрын
Losses all along the way, minimizing will depend on the skill and techniques used by the refiner. I’m not a chemist. Did I already tell you that?

I did also like that smaller seven ounce bar that sacrificed himself for the greater good, his honour will not be forgotten 😃 It's making split second decisions under the heat and pressure such as not pouring that last bit that made this a master pour. Hats off Mr. Sree!

Quite a sight to behold! Definitely not something many of us would typically get to see, much less hold. Now the only question that remains.... As I said in episode 1 of this series, will 2024 be the year when the Sreetips refining company produces a 100 troy ounce five 9's fine gold bar? On an aside, not only is that the largest single gold bar that you've ever produced, it's also possibly the nicest in terms of visual appearance. The additional heat that your new setup was able to sink into the mold ensured much slower solidification which at least IMHO has produced the nicest and cleanest grain pattern I've ever seen from any of your bars above 5 Troy ounces.
