Urban Mining In Your Home

I found an interesting article entitled

How to mine precious metals in your home

Below is an excerpt that I found interesting, might have to look into how to reclaim Cobalt :-)


From one tonne of mobile phone batteries, Umicore claims it can extract between 135-240kg of cobalt, depending on the generation of phone – modern smartphones have more. They say they can also reclaim 70kg of copper and 15kg of lithium from the same handsets. Even once the battery has been removed, the electronics inside a phone can surrender around 1kg of silver and 235g of gold per tonne of devices. This compares very favourably to primary mining, which only averages 100g of silver in each tonne of mined ore, and 2-5g of gold per tonne of ore.

Learning to forgive is much more useful than merely picking up a stone and throwing it at the object of one's anger, the more so when the provocation is extreme. For it is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others. - Dalai Lama

More reasons to recover precious metals

Some more Interesting thoughts about 

Precious Metals and the worth of recovering.

Precious metals ensure that you have a form of wealth not subject
to devaluing, and their intrinsic worth will continue to be debated
– probably for centuries – but, like it or not, 

based upon 5,000 years of history, gold is money.

It is considered as a fortunate day in mythology of hinduism and
people make purchases of gold and other precious metals
especially at this day.

You can flat out denounce it, but there will
always be somebody happy to take your gold and silver off you
at whatever market price you may deem ridiculous.

Precious metals are a safe haven asset and you should have
5% to 10% of your portfolio in metals.  

Gold would be easier to take with you and silver would be
easier to use for barter, so get both.  In turn, some institutional
investors transferred positions in precious metals to stocks.

So what is bullion?

Bullion refers to any precious metal in a form in which its
primary value comes from the worth of the metal, not from
an artificial currency value. Bullion is most often traded 

in the form of coins minted by governments, or in bulk ingots.

The value of bullion is affected by three factors: metal, weight and purity. 

The metal the bullion consists of is obviously important in
determining its overall value: 

gold is worth more than silver, while platinum is worth more than gold. 

The weight of bullion is usually measured in troy ounces, where :

one troy ounce is equal to approximately 31g. 

Purity also varies widely in bullion, though many countries
release coins with 99.99% purity, which is as close as one
can practically get to pure.
