Gold & Silver are naturally occurring impurities in the copper when copper is extracted in the mines. They are not artificially added. The naturally occurring impurities cannot be extracted and therefore no wastage is required to be fixed for Gold & Silver as they are naturally occurring.

(iii) The manufacturing flow chart & manufacturing process is once again enclosed for your ready reference.
