Title I’m a bit of a modern-day alchemist, recovering gold from old mobile phones Media name/outlet The Conversation Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 21/05/20 Description In the kitchen drawer, most of us have a few old mobile phones and tablets. But few probably realise just how much precious metal they contain. Did you know, for example, that it only takes around 41 mobile phones to recover 1g of gold? The price of gold is currently around US$1,700 (£1,365) per ounce, which is roughly US$60 per gram. That means there’s about US$1.50 of gold in every junked device.
