The gold smelting furnace and flux
The first step for refining Gold, is to "refine", or collect, the Gold out of the host minerals, into a button or bead. This will produce an alloy of metals.

Soda Ash for Cleaning Gold?
The metal oxides will stay in the slag and will not contaminate the gold. The use of soda ash will not contaminate the gold, period.

alternative to nitric acid
Also worth asking whether you want the Nitric acid to dissolve away base metals, or only to refine the gold at the end.

Copperas For Precipitating Gold
Jack: SMB will drop other metals with your gold if you have some nitric left in your solution. This why it is essential to remove all free nitric before dropping with SMB. Sometimes I will drop a nice caramel colored gold powder with SMB, then, at the end of the precipitation, a darker almost black cloud will form and turn my nicely colored precipitated gold a darker brown.
