    Saw this last night. Will be interesting to see what they put together as mini mining types of setups...hopefully this will be all in one precious metal recovery machines for smaller suppliers like most of us here...and put them across the country.

    They really won't be much different from any other domestic "refiner" unfortunately. They will sample it and send it off for refining like everyone else.

    How many domestic refiners are there really? Especially one's that are dealing solely with e-waste?

    Would like to know how they are using a teachers retirement fund to back their unproven business. Something smells bad with this one.

    None deal solely with ewaste as far as I know and have researched. They are large scale refiners who accept ewaste, process as much as they can and send the rest out, overseas in most cases, for final refinement. There is usually a 30-45 day wait time to get your money or metals back.
