Using Electricity as a Method of Gold Extraction. One hundred grams of 100 mesh ore were placed in a jar with 500 grams of water and 15 grams of sodium chloride. This was electrolyzed with a current of 0.3 – 0.6 ampere for three hours, current density 0.1 – 0.2. The electrodes were of platinum and the solution was slowly agitated.
