Excellent I learn a lotYour rock/ore, looks like a Silica based host rock, not Limestone. Limestone is a Carbonate rock, and neutralizes acids. Your host rock does not neutralize HCL and Nitric acids as readily as Limestone. That is the difference between yours, and other poster's host rock. In addition, your samples look to actually contain some kind of metallic components, whereas the other poster's does not. He is just farting around, neutralizing quantities of acids, with no apparent metallic component. That is the difference between you and other poster. Also, if you guys are working with chemistry, you should know what you are doing. This includes knowing the chemistry of the minerals in the rocks you are dealing with. You should learn to identify the minerals in the rocks you are performing this acid leach on, so you don't have a reaction with something which could be quite different.
Perhaps one of the moderators can give an example of reactions of some of the other minerals present in ores, and the consequences of that reaction.
I’m really new in geology
I’m new on using chemical to extract gold
I’m always was work placer for extracting gold
Thanks a lot for the advice
