>>the processes used by all other companies to extract platinums is a proprietary process and they AIN'T telling, ...<<

Joe, this is not true for all companies. Platinum metal extraction is taught in most metallurgical schools. For over 100 years, numerous texts cover the same commercial procedures as used by the South Africans and the Russians.

Platinum refining is an applied technology such as lead, zinc and copper refining. Information on this topic is plentiful.

For example, copper with associated base and precious metals is mined concentrated, smelted and made into electrodes. The copper is electrowinned from the electrodes leaving a sludge.

Now you have two products -- pure copper and sludge that has base and precious metals.

Commercial procedures for processing gold, silver and platinum metals from this "now metallic sludge" is available in any technical/metallurgical library. Furthermore, there are over 50 qualified primary and secondary refineries that purchase this type of material on a daily basis.

Respectfully,

Joe Champion

PS -- Platinum Jack -- did you receive my package yet?
