unrefined gold to Turkey

---

There’s about one ounce of gold in a ton of gold ore.
You’d think the shipping costs of getting tons of ore
to Turkey would pretty much eat up the value of the gold.

Gee, they get pure gold out of the ground on Gold Rush!?

Ha ha. I know that is not “real” big time gold mining.

Unrefined does not mean ore. It just means it has not been refined to .999 or better purity. It is likely already .95 or more.
