Extracting Rhodium, Iridium from Iron ore.

Before investing too much labor and energy I would get a proper assay.
I see no As in your pictures, XRFs frequently mistakes As for Ir.
And there was no pictures in there.

FYI,
There are readings for PD, RH & OS also not just IR.

They do not show in the pictures you have provided.

And there is no such thing as:
PD, RH, OS and IR.
It is Pd, Rh, Os and Ir.
In chemistry there is a crucial difference between upper and lower case letters.

It’s the same IR,RH,PD,OS
I know XRF readings don’t give exact essays but if it’s showing that means the metals are there. The machine I have is Olympus Venta specialize for Geochem readings.
Any Evident XRF whether it’s Alloy tester or geochem tester shows all the metals like that. I buy gold from Zimbabwian Government all time we check gold with machine it shows “Au” not AU so if you’re saying all lowercase written references are wrong I don’t support it.
You have to check about Olympus machine all the Evident XRF shows like that.
Picture attached showing Pd,Ir,Os,Rh.
I told you we get it tested by ICP methods from lab also same metals are there some lower and some above 20PPM.

Hi,
Im wonder how is goining your test ? Are you tried before to melt it with metal collector e.g. Iron?
