No what you have there is a baord with copper trace only left in it. About 10 percent of the weight would be copper. So after now your looking at a every pound only paying out about $.30 in copper. Thats before you pay the refiner. Looks like a loosing situation to me.

thanks for the info i guess i have no choice but to throw them out seeing as there are no refiners in this area and shipping them and refining cost would like you say be a loosing situation or with very little profit not be worth the trouble.

Hope what you refined was worth it being that you "stripped" about $1600. worth of boards. One of the top people over at GRF has stated that hobby refiners will leave about %50 of the gold/PM's in the trash. Just my .02
