Refining
Accurate Yields
First our refiner conducts a comprehensive inspection where we weigh, examine and test your materials. Second, we will use an x-ray fluorescence analyzer gun to obtain an accurate percentage of the metal. And third, if needed, we will assay the metals to verify the percentages of the material. These methods provide our customers with accurate percentages to maximize the payment.
