Melting Gold

Precious metals are used for melting and assay due to their unique properties and high value. When it comes to melting, precious metals like gold, silver, platinum, and palladium have high melting points, making them resistant to heat and maintaining their integrity during the melting process. This allows for efficient separation from impurities and facilitates the extraction of pure metals.

What Does the Assay Process Involve?

Assay is a process used to determine the composition and purity of a substance, particularly precious metals like gold, silver, platinum, and others. If you bring your precious metals to J Blundell’s & Sons our service will involve analysing a sample of the material to assess its content of valuable metals and any impurities present. It is important to us that we are transparent throughout the Assay process.

Assaying is crucial in verifying the quality and authenticity of precious metals, especially for items like gold coins, jewellery, and gold bullion, where accurate purity levels are essential for value estimation and market trading. The results of an assay will provide you with valuable information about the metal’s composition, ensuring transparency, trust, and fair transactions within the precious metals industry.
