Mike no problem. The value is in the few ceramic IC's, looks like some gold plated connector ends on there, and also the amount of copper tracing found in the layers of the board used to connect all of the IC's. Remember we dont just recover gold although it is the main metal driving the value. The other most common metals recovered are silver, palladium, platinum, copper, and lead. Most refiners will only pay you on a combination of 4 of those metals.
