It wouldn't surprise me if they had their people come out and validate his process. These guys sound like they are all about the bleeding-edge. No one is going to hand over 10 million without doing their homework first.

I guess we will see who gets the last laugh.
Assuming the deal closes, he will have the funds needed to scale up his production process. Since he's dealing with a nanotech firm, they probably have the R&D lab resources he needs at his disposal as well.
Your position "monetarily" speaking is dumb.
If his making 400 OZ of gold per ton of brown glass is even half true he has many times more cash flow than he would ever need.
He would not need money if he could create gold..........duh!!!!!!!!!
PLZ dont blindly follow anything, if ATS has taught me anything, it is if it seems too good to be true, it obviously is too good to be true dumbass.

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.
Alchemy? Blue Eagle Refiners, Martin Burger. That's enough right there to start with some due diligence. Brief search will uncover he's previously advertised gold making microsmelt lab equipment on ebay. He's also had a kickstarter account and is soliciting for investors around the 'net.
Nothing wrong with any of that, but makes me personally wonder how a guy with a proven concept of pulling gold out of beer bottles would need to go hat in hand for backers. Looks very magic bean-ish to me.
Maybe it's just me.
As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.
I have to agree. The transmuting baser materials into gold scam is an oldie but a goodie.

Given that Kitco believes them and the fact that they have secured venture capital funding, it would seem at least some people, who actually matter, take them seriously. It really doesn't matter if you think they are a scam or not.

Just a few of the nanotech companies based in Zurich.

It just so happens that one of those companies is a venture capital firm that specializes in this kind of funding. In their "about" section, they note that they are specifically targeting disruptive technologies for venture funding.
nanodimension.com...
NanoDimension invests in companies that use break-through nanotechnology to solve critical problems and become global leaders in the life science, electronic and energy sectors.
Working at the atomic & molecular level gives science a new level of control over matter. This new level of control allows us to harness the change in physical properties at the nano-scale and is opening up huge commercial opportunities.
In order to capture these opportunities, break-through science must be translated into a disruptive technology. This requires both a fundamental understanding of science and deep engineering expertise. If we combine disruptive technology with an outstanding team, a laser-focused business model and sufficient capital, we can achieve a revolution in the marketplace and reap the financial rewards. This is why NanoDimension was started – to move break-through nanotechnology from lab to fab to market.
We support our entrepreneurs at every critical point in the life of a company. In addition to NanoDimension’s equity investments, we have helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars for our portfolio companies.
It wouldn't surprise me if they had their people come out and validate his process. These guys sound like they are all about the bleeding-edge. No one is going to hand over 10 million without doing their homework first.

Apparently it's impossible for you to comprehend economies of scale, production rates and expansion costs. If you have the means to produce a few hundred dollars of gold per-day, that doesn't automatically mean you have the equipment and means necessary to produce 400 oz of gold per-day.

PLZ, doc, talk sense into these fools before they blow their life savings and families fortunes and futures on this crap!!!!!!!
I tried to show them their logical flaws, several others also put in multiple posts, trying to talk sense to the "enlightened" Doc PLZ man, save these fools from themselves here. I have seen you make quite great arguments on many subjects.
PLZ, save these guys from their own ineptitudes.

The author is a staff writer for Kitco, not a freelancer.
Bodo Albrecht is an expert in the industrial use of precious metals, specialty metals and rare earths. Prior to launching his own business he spent 20 years with Degussa, one of the largest precious metal companies in the world at the time, where he worked in all of the company's business units before heading their precious metal chemicals business worldwide.
He transferred to the USA in 1997 and founded BASIQ Corporation in 2001; the company supports the industry with marketing intelligence, security and metal management solutions, and is the leading supplier of precious metal accounting solutions for SAP users.

And have you asked Mr Albrecht whether he believes in this or is merely reporting on it?
Good point. My understanding is that right now he can only make tiny little “beads” of precious metals.

From the comments on that blog, when asked why Burger would need funding:
Good point. My understanding is that right now he can only make tiny little “beads” of precious metals.
Tiny little "beads" of about the size of the gold contained in the "seed ore" he adds to the crucible?
Exactly.
This whole thing reminds me of Steorn. Remember them? Irish company who back in about 2006 claimed they could make free energy. And they needed investors. And it was all in production. They had working prototypes and everything.
Guess what? It didn't work.

There is no "seed gold" involved, there is seed ore. If you watched the video, it would explain that for you.
Of course, actually watching the video is far less important than debunking it sight-unseen.
