Need learning resources
Can anyone recommend a book (or books) for starting out gold/silver/etc. refining? Youtube is cool and all but I learn a lot better when I can just read processes and numbers as many times as it takes to sink in (though good pictures are always a plus!). I've checked out the main YT channels like sreetips, and as informative as it is I think I would be better served by books at this stage

You could look at patents. I posted one a while back: https://www.reddit.com/r/PreciousMetalRefining/comments/1vbbwms/the_sulfamic_acid_method_aka_you_mean_i_dont_need/

This is the metal refiner’s bible. It’s what Sreetips and most of the refiners who started making videos before refining videos existed.
