In one tonne of rock. 1 million grams of super hard material. hard enough to stand on, you have a mere 20 grams of material. That is 50,000 to one. And you have to grind the rock into, are you ready? pieces 63 microns across. 1/400 of an inch. 65 million of them to the cubic inch. That is 1.334 trillion particles, merely to get out 27 million particles of gold.

Do you really want to go through all that?
