Gold is usually already refined by the time it is cast into bars, yes?

"Refined" by degree, and it varies significantly. A lot of what is in Ft. Knox is said not to meet modern standards.

To what level of purity is the question. DIY can cast ingots of dubious purity.

It could be gold doré bars that need additional refining.
