Yukon Metals identifies priority drill targets at Birch copper-gold project
The 7,000-hectare Birch project is one of the company’s 17 properties across 42,500 hectares in Canada's Yukon Territory.
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.
