Dr Ken Williams Website - "Basement Chemistry ..."

Postby Joe S (AK) » Sun Oct 13, 2019 4:34 pm

Dr. Ken Williams died from a freak home accident in Costa Rica a few years ago. Those who were familiar with him found him to be patiently helpful to all Gold Miners in untangling Gold mining chemistry problems - Ken, as a miner, himself, understood the specifics involved.

For a few years Ken's son kept that website up and running to continue his father's work. I frequently would return to "Basement Chemistry for the Prospector" and re-read Ken's information on a variety of mining subjects just to knock the cobwebs off.

Sadly, it seems that "Basement Chemistry" seems to be no more. I have been trying for two weeks to access it and receive error messages every time I try. I guess time and maintenance expenses finally caused its downfall.

:(

On another forum I learned that there is a location where the information is still able to be read. :D

Joe, I can probably answer your mining-related chemistry questions.

It's not that I have a specific question - simply that "Basement ..." is such a handy overview / refresher for some chemistry based things to do with mining.

Having said that I'll keep your offer in mind -no telling what the future holds!

It seems that there is a second helping of Cyber Magic at work here.

There are some of his articles to look at on the left side of the page.
