Recently, CCTV reporters entered my country's gold standard gold ingot production enterprise for the first time, exclusively revealing the entire process of treasury gold production. The first step in the production of
gold ingots is purification, which means that the crude gold raw materials that do not meet the standards are removed through specific processes to remove impurities and meet the prescribed standards. The crude gold is put into the dissolution tank and reduced by extraction and is turned into gold powder with a purity of more than 99.992%. The purified gold powder must first pass through a high temperature of 1300 degrees and melt into gold and water.

In the casting workshop of gold ingot production, we cannot see some very modern assembly line production methods. Most of the workers here use a very classical production method to produce. The gold ingots produced must be weighed and measured by balance after color testing. The weighed gold ingots must be numbered.
The weight of a gold ingot is 12.5 kilograms (25 kilograms). The reporter couldn't pick up one hand at all. This gold ingot is worth about 3 million yuan.
