Hey if anyone could help id these ores for me and point me in the right direction to have my samples assayed here are pics

It is hard for me to judge from the pictures, but I suspect carbonates and not quartz. Easy to test by pulverizing some to dust and adding ONE drop of muratic (hydrochloric) acid. A fizzing bubbling reaction is indictative of carbonates.
For assaying there are a number of reputable labs. One relatively local to me is American Analytical www.americananalytical.net
Good luck and I hope they come back as ore and not leaverite.

Hello

Crush those rocks and panned and with a jeweler loupe
if it is 60X
will be better to see microscopic gold
if it have any

look at the concentrate to see if you have metallic gold

Surface coatings can interfere with the test. If nothing else, try to scratch a rock and put the acid on the scratch mark.
