they fire a laser into the minerals containing the gold compounds. The laser is exactly tuned to to the frequency that gold radiates and the result is that molten gold drains out of the rock. The liquid is then caught under a machine called a PPSH-41 bicarbonate diaphragm and is then synthesized into a sedamediphine that will then be cooled to approx. room temperature. Then process is then repeated until the gold emimits reflective radiate energy equal or greater than the frequency of the original laser.

Impure gold is first dissolved, along with the other metals in aqua regia. This forms chlforoauric acid. The gold is then precipitated out with sodium metabisulfite or oxalic acid. The precipitate is pure gold. This is then melted into bard or another gold shape.

It is far less reactive to acids or oxidation processes; i.e., it is relatively inert except to binary acids or special chemical processes.

Gold is isolated from other material through mechanical and chemical processes. Gold is non-magnetic, so a magnetic material is easily taken away.
