The gold smelting furnace and flux

The first step for refining Gold, is to "refine", or collect, the Gold out of the host minerals, into a button or bead. This will produce an alloy of metals. Then you will further refine the metals further down into each individual element via chemicals. You do not just put rocks into a furnace, turn up the heat, and out pours molten, pure metals.
