The Typical Purity of Natural "Raw" Unrefined Gold

[ToddB64]

Dave J.,

While re-reading your booklet titled Gold Prospecting With A VLF Metal Detector, 10 Mar 2010 Edition, I found some information I've been looking for on page 49 pertaining to the typical purity of natural "raw" unrefined gold.

On page 49 under the heading The price of gold, second paragraph, it says "Natural "raw" unrefined gold is typically between 75 to 93% pure". I'm curious, Is that the typical purity range around the world in the major gold producing areas on land and sea ?

I put this post up on the board, not only to satisfy my own curiosity, but thought it would be interesting to others who already prospect for gold and those who are contemplating getting started.

Thanks,

Todd

It's a question that doesn't have any straight answers. You'll probably get a better discussion going by asking the question in the Prospecting forum.
