Large Ingot Capacity: Holds approximately 50 troy ounces of gold or 25 troy ounces of silver, depending on fill level and metal density.
Versatile Metal Casting: Suitable for casting gold, silver, aluminum, and other compatible metals.
Traditional Loaf-Style Design: Creates solid metal ingots that are convenient for storage, handling, and further processing.
Ideal for Gold Prospectors: Turn recovered placer gold, gold nuggets, and refined gold into solid bars.
Great for Silver Casting: Useful for melting scrap silver, jewelry, and other silver materials into ingots.
Reusable Mold: Cast iron construction provides a long-lasting alternative to disposable casting molds when properly maintained.

Product Type: Metal Casting Ingot Loaf Mold
Material: Cast Iron
Mold Style: Open-Top Loaf / Ingot Mold
Approximate Gold Capacity: 50 Troy Ounces
Approximate Silver Capacity: 25 Troy Ounces
Compatible Metals: Gold, Silver, Aluminum, and Other Suitable Casting Metals
Application: Precious Metal Casting, Bullion Bars, Metal Refining, and Foundry Work
Quantity: 1 Ingot Mold
Capacity Note: Metal capacity is approximate and varies based on metal density, alloy composition, and fill level. Gold and silver capacities are expressed in troy ounces. Aluminum ingot weight will be significantly lower due to its lower density.
For gold prospectors who recover placer gold, nuggets, or fine gold, melting and casting recovered metal into ingots can make larger quantities easier to store, transport, and handle.
This cast iron loaf mold is also useful for:
Casting gold and silver bullion-style bars
Melting and consolidating scrap precious metals
Creating silver ingots for jewelry making
Casting aluminum bars for metalworking projects
Small-scale metal refining operations
Preparing metal for additional fabrication or processing
Inspect the Mold: Make sure the mold is clean, completely dry, and free of cracks or damage.
Prepare the Casting Area: Work in a properly equipped, well-ventilated metal casting area using appropriate protective equipment.
Preheat the Mold: Follow established metal casting procedures for safely preheating cast iron molds and eliminating moisture.
Prepare the Molten Metal: Melt the appropriate metal using equipment rated for the material and required temperature.
Pour Carefully: Use suitable foundry tools and procedures to transfer molten metal into the prepared mold.
Allow to Cool: Let the casting solidify and cool sufficiently before attempting removal.
Remove the Ingot: Use appropriate tools and protective equipment to remove the finished bar.
WARNING: Molten metal casting involves extremely high temperatures and can cause severe burns, fires, and serious injury.
Never pour molten metal into a wet, damp, or cold mold that has not been properly prepared.
Moisture contacting molten metal can cause violent steam expansion and dangerous metal splashing.
Always use appropriate heat-resistant gloves, face protection, protective
Cast Iron ingot mold with the slight wall taper for better metal removal. This Mold is great for making Loaf type bars. The weight of each bar depends on what metal your working with and how full you fill the cavity. These Steel Molds are not smooth inside the cavity like our Graphite molds are, please see 6 photos below. Overall length is 7 3/4" and inside size is 1 3/8" deep & at the top its 1 5/16" X 3 5/16"
