Precious Metals Smelting

Precious metals smelting is the process of extracting valuable metals like gold, silver, and platinum from raw ore or scrap. It involves heating the material to very high temperatures to melt the metals away from other substances. Chemical treatments or fluxes are often added to facilitate separation and impurities are removed. The result is refined, pure precious metal that can then be shaped into bars, coins, or other forms. This process is essential for turning mined or collected materials into usable, high-quality metals used in jewelry, electronics, and investment.
