Dental fillings? What explains the gold concentration?! Or is it castoff from manufacturing processes?

You know, mining the landfills would probably yield a great deal of raw metal and metal-oxide compounds that are easily refined. What a great way to clean up the environment.

The numbers make no sense.
Two kilograms of gold per ton of ash is huge.
Ten thousand pounds of gold is worth far more than a few tens of thousands of dollars.
On the other hand, the amount of precious and strategic metals thrown away in the form of electronics really does boggle the mind. Yes, trash dumps will be the mines of the future.
