I would definetly be checking into the legalities of doing this... There are alot of companies overseas that do not have the same standards of gold and mismark their items... My hubby is a jeweler and knows that working on gold from some countries is totally different than the stuff from here... I am sure you will need ot licensed up the wahoo for this. I take it you are buying straight from a mine since it is wholesale? Sounds interesting but scary to me...

I saw a very weird program on BBC America (or the discovery channel) where they made a furnace and put the ore in a cruicible with crushed glass.  After they melted every thing down, the impurities from the gold bonded with the crushed bits of glass, freein the gold from the ore.  You need a lot of heat and high temps, but no arsenic is required.\n\nAnother guy on the same program did the same thing by taking a carbon rod from a battery and hooking it up to 24VDC with two car batteries.  It heated it VERY quickly.  I am sorry I cannot remember the name of the program!!!!  It was using only 19th century technology to replicate settlers in Canada during the Yukon gold rush days.

Certainly not an active one that I know about.  It would be really wierd to have one in Port Deposit, since it's right on the shores of the Susquehanna River.\n\nThis area is not known for being geologically active.  Most of that is farther to the west in the Appalachians.

The Yukon Trail was the principal route for prospectors to the Klondike gold fields around Dawson City in the Yukon Territory of Canada.  The trail began at Dyea, Alaska near the present town of Skagway and involved crossing the snow-covered Chilcoot pass and a raft journey down the Yukon River.  The gold rush peaked in 1898.  Many gold seekers were ill-prepared for the journey and much equipment was abandoned along the trail.  Trash from the 30,000+ people who went over the pass was still evident when I walked the first few miles of the trail in the early 1960's\n\nThe Wikipedia article on the Klondike Gold Rush listed below is excellent and should tell you all you need to know.  The "rush" is famous as the last of it's kind, and among the adventurers there were poets and authors who are still read today.  If you have any sense of adventure at all you can delve long on the lore of this time!  My family still has a small bit of gold, the remnants of a broken nugget, brought back by an adventurous ancestor.  Also included is a link to a reading of "The Cremation of Sam McGee" by Robert W. Service which captures some of the feeling of the time.  Don't listen if you're squeamish!\n\nThe trail over the Chilcoot pass is part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Park and I've included a link to the park's web site below (3rd. reference) .  If you still have any doubts as to how hard the trip was (and still is) read the section on their pages on hiking the trail.

Absolutely correct! I second the motion.\n\nThere is never a 100% guarantee of anything in mineral prospecting. Even with a good site analysis and positive assay results, it may be there in commercial amounts, or just enough for collector's amusement.

Gaspeite is considered a rare mineral, being found in only a few localities, but it is becoming a popular mineral in the semi-precious stone markets. It is being used as a cabochon in sterling silver jewelry with such notable minerals and material as turquoise, malachite, azurite, onyx and coral. Gaspeite's light green, almost apple green color is quite unique and not hard to mistake. It real accents the banded greens of malachite and the blue green of turquoise. Carved material is generally homogenous, but it may contain portions of its brownish host rock which may give it a distinctive character. \nGaspeite is found as a secondary mineral around nickel sulfide deposits. It was thought of as just a gangue mineral by miners when it was encountered and usually placed in the mines dumps or tailings. A gangue mineral is a mineral that probably contains the ore metal, but its chemistry is such that processing it is either impossible or unprofitable. Such was the case with gaspeite despite being rich in nickel. Of course lapidary craftsmen have a different view of gaspeite's profitability! Gaspeite is named for its type locality of Gaspe' Peninsula, Lemieux Township, Gaspe'-ouest County, Quebec, Canada, but the best material of late is coming from North of Perth, Australia. \n\ncharacteristics-\nColor is a pale green to apple green. \nLuster is vitreous to dull. \nTransparency- Crystals are usually translucent, massive material is opaque. \nCrystal System is trigonal; bar 3 2/m. \nCrystal Habits include rhombohedrons and scalenohedrons, but crystals are very rare. More commonly found massive. \nCleavage is perfect in 3 directions forming rhombohedrons. \nFracture is uneven. \nHardness is 4.5 - 5. \nSpecific Gravity is 3.7 (somewhat heavy for a translucent mineral). \nStreak is yellowish green. \nOther Characteristics: Effervesces slightly in hydrochloric acid.\n\nCARE-\nTo maintain the original condition of your jewelry, polish your pieces regularly using a non-abrasive cleaning cloth.\n  \nSoap and water will also help keep your jewelry looking good. Remember do not dry jewelry off with paper towels or tissues, always use a soft cloth.\n  \nWhen you are not wearing your jewelry, store it in a cool, dry, soft place. \n  \nNever immerse jewelry in chlorine, salt water, mineral springs, and avoid contact with suntan lotion. Remember, some household cleaners contain chlorine bleach. These will cause discoloration and also loosen the gemstones.\n  \nAvoid abrasive cleaners, detergents and commercial jewelry cleaner "dips" especially if the pieces have an oxidized finish.\n  \nNever use an ultrasonic cleaner, ammonia or any chemical solution to clean opaque gemstones, such as turquoise, malachite, onyx, lapis lazuli and opals. They are a porous stone and may absorb chemicals, which build up inside the stone and cause discoloration. Simply wipe them gently with a moist cloth until clean.\n  \nIf your jewelry contains gemstones or pearls, do not immerse in water, as this can loosen some settings. Never use dips or abrasives cleaners on gemstones.

It is (I know this for sure, because I am going there this summer) happening in British Columbia, Canada. More specifically, Vancouver, and the surrounding areas. There are numerous mountains for the downhill (skiing and snowboarding) events to take place at. The indoor events (ice skating, curling, etc.)- as well as the opening/ closing ceremonies- will happen right in Vancouver. I'm not sure where the nordic, and other outdoor events will happen, but probably just outside the city. They have really great facilities everywhere, so even though they have a lot of work to do, they already have a great head start. Also, I know from experience, the village at Whistler/ Blackcomb are great "tourist" attractions, and there is a great deal to do right in Vancouver.
