Opis

People think that gold recovery is limited up to computer chips only. Every electronic device has a motherboard and that motherboard has some chips mounted on it. It could be a DVD or a mobile or just any electronic device. We get gold from all the chips. Gold is an essential part of a chip. It is in the form of very thin wires inside a chip. Undoubtedly, extracting gold from chips is a very profitable business. I receive numerous calls every day and most of the people ask me how to recover gold from computer chips. Before starting the business of gold recovery from chips one must have the correct knowledge of the precious metals content from one pound/kilo of chips or integrated circuits so that we make the right purchase. Well, no one can obtain the same quantity of gold from all the chips. There are many factors behind it. Chip manufacturing companies used a lot of gold at the early stage of chip manufacturing because at that time gold was very cheap.
