No problem Mike, I'm not going to be making any friends among the catalytic buyers.
Last night while loading up the ball mill had a comb too large to fit through the charge door so set the comb on my table saw then gave it a smack with my claw hammer to split it in half. Now the weird part was that observing both ends of the comb they looked perfect but once split open it looked like it had been riddled with termites there was bore holes throughout the comb.
I mention this in the interest of making it common knowledge that the catalytic buyers are buying blind, although mileage and age will play into what is left behind in the comb for values to be refined out. You need that assay to know where you stand.
I'm not going to get into a rant on buying and selling it's a free market and people are free to do as they wish its just that I have chosen a different route hopefully we all gain more knowledge from this project giving us choices in how we deal with our cats in the future.
The bare minimum required to send into the refinery is 500 kg, I will elaborate more on this later as to who we should be using not only from my own personal experience but from others I have contact with.
Later I will edit this post with a picture of the ball mill so that everything related to this project is kept in one thread.
