Sounds like a free speech issue. Selective?

You'll have to ask the dearly departed MR Olson about that.

If you have a free speech issue, you might be in the wrong country.

You see mercury, like people, can be both an asset and a liability .

Am I correct in thinking that fools gold can sometimes contain sulfide bonded? gold? What an ironic paradox that would be!

Yes, Gold can be found mixed with fools gold.

How I roast ore. I crush to about 1/4 inch size. place in the furnace for 45 to 60 minutes at about 1100 degrees.
stir or shake pan about every 10 minutes. If you crush down to 1/8, all the better.
Just my 2 cents worth.
