Thanks, that's both very helpful.

What I'm trying to work out is the chemicals used in the following extraction process:

Trying to ascertain firstly, is this a real extraction process? (or is it just a fake video used to sell e-books)

That lengthy, slow-paced, wordless and comment blocked video seems to be doing cyanide extraction.  You can find the info from free sources.  Its dangerous, and you don't likely have enough computer chips for this to be worthwhile.

Nah, most of my "research" indicates it's a big fat waste of time. But I like the idea of it.
