DELETERIOUS ELEMENTS. The Seller shall advise Buyer in advance prior to shipment if the Gold contains any of the following deleterious elements which exceed Iron 2.00%; Copper 10.00%, Zinc 5.00%, Lead 2.50%, Nickel 2.00%, Bismuth 0.50%, Mercury 0.20%, Arsenic 0.20%, Beryllium 0.20%, Cadmium 0.50%, Antimony 0.50%, Selenium 0.20%, Tin 0.20%, and Tellurium 0.20%. Penalties will apply should the Gold delivered to Buyer contain levels in excess of these levels. Additional charges due to the excessive impurity content of the gold will be deducted from the amount payable to the Seller. Buyer has the right to refuse acceptance of the gold and keep the Performance Bond proceeds as penalty, besides having the right to take the Seller to court for further damages.

Class I: Impurities, which are hazardous to personal and environment: Element Acceptable levels Radioactive none Mercury Hg none Arsenic As max. 100 ppm Cadmium Cd max. 100 ppm Class II: Impurities, which can disturb the refining process and as well influence the environmental protection processes: Element Acceptable levels Lead Pb max. 2.5% Tin Sn max. 3% Selenium Se max. 500 ppm Tellurium Te max. 500 ppm Bismuth Bi max. 100 ppm Antimony Sb max. 100 ppm There are other elements, which may be present in refining material, that do not have hazardous properties or disturb the processing significantly if present in minor quantities, but may disturb severely the homogenization and sampling due to the fact that they produce a heavy segregation when the Gold solidifies. These elements in particular are: Iron (Fe), Nickel (Ni) and Cobalt (Co). This list is not representative for all material compositions and subject to adjustment by in case of necessity. In case the Dore bars or alluvial Gold in form of powder supplied by the Seller contain impurities that are deleterious to other persons or to the refining process, the Buyer shall have the right to either Reject the Shipment; all expenses incurred by the Buyer in connection with the rejected Shipment being for the account of the Seller, or Ask for additional payments from the Seller in order to cover any additional cost that the ...
