More on extracting gold from sewage


More news on this front this time out of the UK.  Previous report here.

Analysis by Thames Water found that the level of gold in sewerage systems was comparable to those found in working mines. 
Dr Prichard said: "It's one to three parts per million, which is huge. "Goldmines are economical at one to three parts per million. "The advantage is, it doesn't need to be mined ... [or] crushed. The two big costs in getting gold out of rocks is mining and crushing them. 
"It's environmentally friendly. It's gold, that's what matters."

Still YUGE amounts of these metal loving nut-jobs among us folks; going to lengths here that require them to strain thru human excrement to obtain it.

You can get free gold in your drinking water in parts of Nova Scotia. Arsenic too.
