    Susan, Some of the gold that we buy from our various suppliers is
    recycled. I don't know what the percentage is but consider that a
    source of gold, and other metals, for refiners is scrap that has been
    sold to them by jewelers and manufacturers. Another source are pawn
    shops and metal dealers who buy old jewelry and send it to refiners
    for cash. Joel
