Gold comes easy when seen in macro size it's a driving source of fun even though one's wife will reply everything is so small or I thought it would be easier than this. So, I never took her around sulfide deposits or complex sulfides. My question to anyone who has made that jump from prospector to miner from an assay from SGS Canada Minerals base metals: Ag 1-10g/t, Cu 1-10%, Ni 1-10% and PGM Pt 1-10g/t, Pd 1-10g/t, Ir <1g/t, Rh < 1g/t and Os <1g/t. This sample came off the surface of the out crop. Are these numbers to pursue to develop a mine?

I did not see the attachment option to show the assay by SGS on Base Metals and PGMs
 

Attachments

Your attachment looks like the sheet used to determine the method (or methods) so they can quote you a price. I did not see the assay. A single sample does not a mine make, but it may generate interest from someone with deep pockets to investigate further.

Thanks for responding, and yes they had enough sample material to run another examination using another method for a narrow concentration for each element ($350 ea). Don't remember which machine this one was ICP or ICPMS. I decided to start out with 22 lbs of 100 sieved material split it in half roasted and not roasted both averaging 70% dissolving into solution. A story for another time. To send them concentrated samples for that kind of money and hold them up for all data performance (DUP, LCS, MB, PS, PSD) being a QA Data Auditor for metals and wetchem.
