Jack: Thank you for the "illumination". I thought I should withdraw from posting on all DD's threads. Yesterday my comments on IPMCF were called garbage and few other less than complimentary terms. Zeev

You're right, there are two types of dore bars: those made from the leach precipitate fired into copper as a collector and then shipped to the new refiner. They also take some of this material, cast it into anodes, and plate the copper out in their own tanks to create a highly enriched anode sludge. This is then processed in their refinery and then shipped to Englehard. The electroplating process is quite slow so the quantity shipped to Englehard is much smaller. I suspect a shipment to the new refiner consists of multiple bars (maybe 50 lbs. each)in the anode shape, not just one big bar. The dore metal bars are likely cast in the same mold and all around the same size.
