Extracting gold using borax? Can someone explain? | Gold ...
2015-11-3 · 1,462. Location. East Bay Area, California. Apr 15, 2012. #1. I stumbled (literally, I was using stumbleupon) across a video on youtube that claims to show how you can extract gold using borax. I understand the purpose of using borax when you melt gold, for seasoning a crucible and attracting some contaminants, and for heating reasons etc.
