Went looking for gold but instead found silver. Initial impression is that there is a decent amount of silver in source rock. Used nitric to extract silver from small crushed sample. Will get an assay to get actual silver value and check for PGMs. Don't see much gold.
Here's a question. Is it we economical for an amateur to extract silver from ore if gold and PGM values turn out to be negligible? My impression is that silver concentration would have to be phenomenally good to make processing worthwhile (for an amature).
Anyone have experience with this situation? Would appreciate some experience based insight.
