  • Baird & Co. is the only gold refinery in the UK. The company goes through over 10 tons of gold a year. The smallest gold bar that Baird & Co. makes is a 1-gram bar that's worth about $41. The most expensive one is a 5-kilograms bar worth about $212,350.

    • @jeremythompson5151
      @jeremythompson5151 5 років тому

      It is chemically speaking, pure. But it is found in nature as a mesh blended in with other minerals and metals. Picture nanoparticle sized beads of pure gold embedded in rock that has many other metals. To get to the pure gold, you have to remove the things in the way. You are correct in that it is more "mining" than refining the gold OUT of the rock than strictly refining the gold itself.

      The only place that has ever happened was that a few thousand bars were made in tungsten by a Chinese company by someone who said they wanted some "fun souvenir paperweights". Stupid story, because the cost of a paperweight in tungsten would have been high anyway. A few of these bars turned up in India, much to their anger. It couldn't happen in the UK, because all bars are tested by a spectroscope and with a sound generator to ensure that the bars are solid gold all the way through.
