The real thing, not reality TV. Watch ASEs at birth.

The clip gets to the dory bars, still need further refining from there on to get the "pure" silver used to mint bullion

Excellent video, Fredd. Thanks for posting the link. As a chemist, I really enjoyed the parts about extracting silver and gold chemically and also the testing procedure where the small bead was formed from the crushed rock samples.

Very cool, thanks. In my younger days in school, we got to go to the Sudbary nickel mine. We were not allowed to go into the mine but toured the plant. It is similar to silver using froth floatation but with different cemicals. I will always remember the glow of the slag dump at night.
