does the smelting process separate the gold from the alloy used?
my thoughts precisely!
When he goes to sell it, they will do an acid test to get the Karat mixture of the bar and price the bar accordingly. Different strengths in the acids will tell the purity of the gold.
It takes a more detailed smelt to purify the gold. Chemicals are added that bind to the other metals and then removed as slag.
