The sample is then weighed to represent one ounce to one ton of ore. It is then placed in a crucible with silver, litharge (oxide of lead) flour and flux. The sample is then heated in the Assayer's furnace and left until all these components are molten.

The crucible is then removed from the furnace which is now 1000 to 1200 degrees. The silver is poured from the top of the crucible and the remainder is poured into cavity mold. In this you now have lead, silver and gold. When the sample is cooled it is placed in a "cupel".
