Torex Gold meets 2024 guidance while prepping Media Luna in Mexico
The Toronto-based company produced 452,523 oz. gold last year, it said Thursday.
Professor Martyn Poliakoff, host of the excellent Periodic Videos channel on YouTube, obtained a bottle of Tsar’s Vodka during a trip to Russia and was inspired to pour aqua regia into the same bottle and show gold going into solution.
Aqua regia (in Latin, king’s water) is a highly corrosive solution used for refining high purity gold.
“The key technical question is how do you hang a piece of gold into a bottle without whatever it is suspended upon dissolving into the aqua regia,” asks Poliakoff.
