Deposit Thickness and Cost determination

Element (mg) ÷ Area (sq.in.) X Metal Factor = Micro-inches (u”) of Deposit  
Deposit Thickness (u”) ÷ Metal Factor X .144 = Grams Mē per Square Foot  

Metal Factors


Gold Example:  50 u” pure Au deposit over 500 square feet of production area (work).

  1. 50 ÷ 3.16 X .144 = 2.276 grams of Au per Square Foot X 500 = 1138 grams total Au required
     
  2. Gold Market (ex. $400.00/troy ounce = $12.86/gram Au)
     
  3. 1138 X $12.86 = $14, 634.68 Total Au Cost
