The procedure of refining gold can quite simply be defined as a combination of science and art. The definition may be simple but the process is far from that. A fine attention to detail and a keen knowledge of the entire process all add to the successful refining of gold through fire assaying.
Fire assaying is the oldest but is still considered to be the most reliable method of determining the content of gold and silver in rock or concentrate samples. This method is still the industry standard. The reason why it is called ”fire” assay is simply because it involves smelting the sample which has been mixed with lead oxide.
