Scrap gold from a miners point of view
To us, average citizens not involved in the extracting industry, it is quite normal that there are situations when people buy or sell gold. Sometimes you just go to the goldsmith and purchase some jewelry with a view to serve as a present for someone you know, sometimes you buy something for yourself just for the sake of pleasure. Often it comes to Scrap gold trades, in which old and broken jewelry items are converted into cash dependent on their weight and material they are made of. A single ounce of scrap gold is worth even up to a thousand dollars! Try to compare this sum with an average monthly salary of a regular miner at places where they extract gold. They deal with kilograms of this precious ore and no one can take a pint of it as there are detailed controls all over the time. The pay they gain is just below 2000 dollars, which means that working a vast number of hours and giving their best could be reflected in the rays of sun flashing from the surface of some scrap gold. It can be very humping for the workers to realize the fact. We should understand the point of view of a miner and his perception and vision of price at which they should sell gold in stores.
