    Faulguy just an fyi that number is off by quite a bit. There is an average of 5-6 ounces of refined gold in 2000lbs of motherboard.

    That makes more sense. I figured there must have been some hella markups on those...
    Lol. 50 motherboards/ounce, 400 motherboards/ounce... pretty much the same, right?

    If one of you big dealers would post a copy of an assay report from one of shipments to a refiner there wouldnt be any speculation. As soon as I can find one that will do it for a sample for me ill do it. I just want to know whats really all in them myself. I know ill probable get flamed for asking for such info but if you dont ask you never receive.
