Thank you so much Mrs Cramer.

I find that whole process absolutely facinating! I wondered how they would figure out with such precision how much gold is in a TON of ore. Now I know!

As an extension, when those tons of ore are mined, how would a company process all of the ore to harvest all of the gold? Is it a similar process on a larger scale, to get bigger beads and bigger buttons, or is it completely different?
