HGFS Metals was established in 2006 to address regulatory changes in Nevada's mining industry. It has since expanded to other states and provides extraction, refining, equipment sales, and other services to small mines. The company's refining process begins with receiving raw materials from mines and uses mechanical and chemical processes to separate gold from other materials until ultra-pure gold bars are produced. HGFS also offers individuals the ability to purchase gold directly through its MINERAL-AIRES program.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts

Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

hold your purchase, as they are cross-collateralizing it and
“platforming” it. Usually a bank-to-bank transaction and Letter of
Credit or other instruments that are not normally used for owning
physical gold, are accepted.

20. You can purchase a saleable form of gold on
several levels of production:
– Free Gold i.e.., nuggets, dust
– Dore (Dory) – mechanically processed material breaking

Editor's Notes

Welcome Greeting
Place mines are above ground surface mine. There are two types of ore conditions in a mine. Sulfide and Oxide. Sulfides are typical of load mines. Sulfides take longer processing as they have to be roasted. Once put into an oxide form they are then placed into mechanical production and onto the chemical and final refining stages. HGFS Metals owns placer claims and has JV opportunities with miners who have been put into low or no production du to the Mercury Laws. The mercury laws took effect in 2006 under the EPA. Mercury emissions are a jail-able offense carrying 10 years. Miners will from time to time bootleg in a garage. HGFS Metals has devised the solution for the miner and adjunct to this opened opportunities to partnerships via JV, purchases of PRE-PRODUCTION on the ore discounted from premium. The metal is contained in this ground. Your vault is the ground. This is an areal photo of acres.

Black Mountain claim. Somehow we have moved to the age of instant gratifications. The mountain in this photo is a tungsten claim in Nevada. While it would be cool to do a drive through and walk off with the ingot it is not possible. This claim has to be mined. Excavating, digging, stripping, into dump trucks to be put through the mechanical steps just for a concentrate. When you buy material in a pre-run condition you are buying it from the mountain! This is the point the journey begins. Understanding the hurddles miners face takes a wiser mine and education in the field? No, it does take intelligence that the mine is not in a pepper shaker and the gold just bubbling up to be taken. This is an industry like the oil companies place rigs and pipeline we place humans with guts and heart in temperatures over 130 degrees or sub zero. Each site has a season. This means Alaska for instance has 5 months for mining. Processing is in the latter 7. Arizona has oppressive heat limited the daytime work. Do you see paved roads or electricity? It is the wild, wild, west!
Mountains contain many rock formations. Here is an example of one the size of the car. Yes the equipment can crush it. The next screen demonstrates quartz growing from the ground.
Gold follows quartz but not necessarily is all quartz contains gold. This formation is natural and one of the many beautiful landscapes we encounter on sites. Mining creates admiration for the earth and HGFS uses green technology and we repair and plant into the footprint we take from. Responsible mining starts with HGFS Metals. 07/15/12
Samples for assays are critical to mine acceptance for finishing metal to 999. A chain of custody has to be in place with mine sites for the integrity of the results. Third parties are required and sometimes double assay reports from 2 labs depending on the client request for verification of the results. Assays run about 500.00 each. The industry is very busy so that step alone is backed up 3-6 weeks. Sample taking is the first step and that is where the chain of custody starts. HGFS prides itself on our staff in qualified MISAH certified personnel who verify the sample taker or we personally take them. 07/15/12
You probably see gold riding past you on a highway every single day. Transportation of the metals is handled traditionally by trucking from one location to another. Our equipment is usually on site. We will design a custom set up for your site by request. To get to the gold we need to move the earth. 07/15/12
Taken at a lab in Nevada. Trying to understand that that gold looks like this in the beginning stages. Value of this pile of ore is 72MM USD. If you want to purchase under spot you need to buy at this level. 07/15/12
Chemical extraction in the lab includes buckets to catch the chlorides. Chlorides are parted off and sent to final processing into a saleable condition required by the end buyers. 07/15/12
Assay reports can show PPM, Parts per million. You will have to have a qualified assay reader interpret the information. We do accept assay reports from miners for consideration. If we are interested in the results we resample and test. Testing is paid for by the miner. HGFS absorbs no related costs outside of our own contract obligations. We provide evaluation and set up. Deposits of 750,000.00 for the technology is required. We then work with the miner. yields: Ability to mine : Not an issue at Lamaque or San Juan. Both are mining friendly regions dependent on the mining industry. Mining Feasibiliy : San Juan is an established operation and Lamaque production is scheduled to restart in Q2 2010. However, until the private placments at the end of 2009 were completed, the necessary funds were not available to complete a Lamaque start-up and the operation of San Juan was in jeopardy due to under capitalization. Parts of Lamaque are coming out of long term care and maintenance. It is reasonable that until the first dore bar is poured (scheduled for April 2010) and the traditional analyst site tour (scheduled for May 2010) happens, a certain degree of wait and see will remain and hold back valuation potential [date source was slide 17 of Century March 2010 presentation ]. This is especially reasonable given past false starts at Lamaque [reference and quote to be added...]. Management team : I believe that the current management team performed extremely well to lead the company out of the bad situation the financial crisis of 2008 caused. The timing of the melt down was not anything that any management team could have predicted. The management team found a major investor in Maxim Finskiy to purchase 78M shares at C$0.20 and 38M warrants at C$0.30 in the same year when the stock traded under C$0.02. Well done!!! However, there have been past delays in bring Lamaque out of long term care and maintenance and into production. Hints of schedule delays are likely to result in downward stock price pressure. On the other hand, as of the 2009 Management Information Circular, the CEO and VP of Exploration hold a significant number of company shares. Land Holdings : land holdings are a potential plus for which may one day yield a pricing premium beyond the projected fair market stock price. 21.5 sq km claim in the highly productive Abitibi Greenstone Belt. Potential for further resource expansion is excellent. Century holds several gold properties in Alaska, Canada and Peru that have excellent exploration potential. Many of these properties were acquired when gold prices were significantly lower. The potential is exciting. Share holdings : Not applicable. Geopolitical risks : Not a factor. Canada and Quebec especially are mining friendly regions. Peru has a well established mining industry and derivies over 50% of its exports from mining. Company land holdings are in brown field areas where mining is well established. Precious metal premium : since Century is 100% gold and given Century's outstanding ore grades, this factor is a potential valuation positive. Hedging : Century has some forward sales made to cover start-up expenses. The extent of any long term hedges is to be determined (but is believed to be not an issue). Companies with multiple deposits : not a factor. All deposits with defined resources will be in production in 2010. Cash flow failures : this was a huge issue at the end of 2008. Investors are no doubt looking for major cash flow improvements going into 2011 from the start of Lamaque production. Anticipated Financing : not an issue as of March 2010. Until further updates from management, the private placements and subsequent exercise of warrants are assumed to have provided sufficient cash to launch Lamaque and upgrade San Juan. Further dilution in 2010 is not expected. Market Anticipation : this may be a positive factor as Century has recently reported excellent drill results that presumably are outside of the scope of the current NI 43-101 reports. NSR Royalties : nothing unusal noted. Market conditions : not an issue. Excessive promotion : no known issue. Option and Warrant expiration approach : not an issue since Mr. Finskiy has already exercised his C$0.30 warrants. Remaining warrants are in the money and will build the company cash reserves for Lamaque and San Juan development. Interpretation errors : always a risk but I am not aware of any mistakes in GoldMinerPulse translation of Century reserves and resource counts. If errors are spotted they are noted and corrected immediately. Disputes : the company has had a number of past disputes and has proceed to settlements. No major issues are known. Quantiy of ore : Lamaque is a world class gold mine in terms of known resources. NI 43-101 classification : a discount factor was applied, in calcuating the projected fair market stock price, to account for the high percentage of resources in the Inferred category. However, given the proximity of significant gold mines, and the potential for resource expansion, the discount factor I used may be overly conservative. It is important to remember that even Proven + Probable reserves were at one stage of their development Inferred resources. Given the geology of the area were Lamaque is located, I believe it is a reasonable gamble to bet on much of the Inferred resources will be developed into future Proven + Probable reserves and the large land package surrounding Lamaque will support replacement and expansion of the resources. However, I am leaving as an open research question the reason as to why Century and not a gold major in the region were able to acquire Lamaque. Did Agnico-Eagle or other gold majors at one time pass on acquiring Lamaque? If so why? Recovery and metallurgy factors : no known issues Infrastructure factors: further research required to determine if perhaps some legacy environment issue prevented other majors from acquiring Lamaque in the past. Operating costs: no known issues. However, Agnico-Eagle have achived significantly lower per ounce costs than those projected for Lamaque in 2010. Will Century be able to get their per ounce costs down to the levels achived at La Ronde? [More discussion to be added.] Environmental risks: many of the Century exploration properties have historical mines. Alaska is getting tougher on mining.

There are 2 distinct arms in world commodities. One is the existence of what the economist call a super cycle. This is based on demand from China as a world economy effected by various factors in history. China has in fact stepped up demand and there is a known shortage to the demand world wide.

1.) Free Gold. Purity of the materials are not locked to other elements. Mother Nature creates the nugget. 2.) Dory gold (or dore gold) is gold that has been directly extracted and refined from ore at the mine into a bar containing 90% gold. This is called a "dore bar." These dore (dory) bars are sent from the mine to an external refinery, where it will be melted down and purified into a new bar that is 999.9 parts per thousand pure gold. The 90% gold bar that goes from the mine's refinery to the external refinery is the dory bar. Once it's melted down for secondary refining, it is no longer "dory gold. “ 3.) Concentrates: Gravity concentration by knocking of materials not requiring heat or chemical extraction. Metals separate by weight and the more materials removed the ‘concentration’ of gold increases. This breaks the materials into small pieces. 4.) chloride of gold; the trichloride obtained as a dark red crystalline mass by the action of chlorine on heated gold.
