Scrap electronics as your gold mine

You can get some of this from mining scrap electronics

There Are A Lot Of Ways To Mine For Gold

I am not going to show them all here, just give you something to think about and a couple of links to more information if you are interested.

Yes, I know it is hard to believe. I have been reading here and there about "there is more gold in a ton of electronics" than just about all gold mines.

Meaning a ton of gold bearing ore VS a ton of scrap computers, cell phones, etc.  The electronics comes out on top. I can't remember the figures and am to lazy to look them up, but it is a huge difference.

OK, I looked it up and there is a lot of answers but it seems as if 1 ton of ore on average will give a mining company around 100 grams of gold. It is hard to believe that it is worth doing! Invest millions, even billions of dollars and get 100 grams for every ton of dirt you process.

Now the scrap boys do not need as big an investment (but still have a fair amount of $$ in the project) they have to buy, deliver, break up, and refine.  The big difference is the scrap that is their "ore" yields around 1500 grams per ton! Fifteen times as much, and I am using low figures when I say this.

There is an article at the bottom of this about Claude Resources getting 39.43 grams per tonne and considering it newsworthy. I added it as an example - this is an "exciting" mining prospect.

What would you rather deal with? A mine with millions of dollars invested in equipment, employees, government bureaucracies, or a scrap yard that is clean and has a few people to pay and your "ore" is yielding 15 times as much?

There is another way - You can do it yourself, at home and earn a good living. I invite you to take a look at this site to see how.

Simple pleasure:  When you accidentally say something that rhymes
