We will know sooner or later.
Kurtak has volunteered to guide him.

Let Kurtak help him in peace, nothing is gained by crying foul other than create a less than fruitful environment.

Kurtak will conclude when he is confident in the result😏
If it is a scam we will all know 😳
 
per the bold print - of course you can - apparently you don't understand "fire assay" for ore

You start by taking a sample of the ore from the vain - so (as example) lets say you take a chunk of that ore that weighs a kilo

That chunk of ore can be referred to as an example - sample - piece - or specimen - its a chunk of ore that represents the larger vain of ore

You then take that chunk of ore & grind it to 200 mesh

You then take 29.16 grams of that (ground to 200 mesh) ore & smelt it with lead as a collector for the gold (so in reality you could just start with a 29.16 chunk of ore - though its not normally done that way)

you then cupel the lead button that has collected the gold to remove the lead leaving a gold bead in the cupel

The gold bead is then weighed/measured & calculated to determine recovery per ton based on the 29.16 gram ore assay

So an ore specimen - provided it is at least 29.16 grams - can be assayed to get a per ton representation of the gold in the vain that the specimen came from

Specimen of a large chunk of ore . Or just one rock . Or specimen of a tons of same ore. It's done deferently .

I can’t remember excactly now.
But there are rules on how to prepare a sample for assay.
Read any assay book it will lay out the rules.
From that you take 29.16 grams which will represent one ton.

Please let this rest now, until we have a result from Kurtak.

He need to hurry up ......
 
Kurt is very through and knowledgeable on these matters. Quality takes time and patience. Rushing into things are where the problems come from.
 
Everything relates to the sampling which is critical. The thought that someone would base the value of an entire lot on one rock is insanity. Sure an evaluation of a single specimen can tell you whether or not what you are in search of is present in the area but I wouldn't bet the farm on it being profitable without proper sampling techniques.

After generating a sample that is representative of the site, the assayer is the tasked with the preparation of the sample, which is where the assay ton sized sample comes from. That sample which weighs 29.166 grams is sized that way because every milligram retained after cupellation and parting, represents an ounce per ton in the body sampled. So that incredibly small quantity, 0.001 grams, needs to be consistent in all of the cups fused and cupelled to assure the homogenosity of the blended sample.

But, and it's a big but, if the sample, properly prepared and weighed and showing consistent results, came from a single rock...... don't expect a lot of capital from your investors. (unless, of course, they have more money than sense!)

Kurt knows a thing or two about sampling ,so chill out and await his perspective.
 
If you need a new lab look up a post by Phildreamer titled “Building a new shed”. It has a ton of good stuff for a building layout.

I really need to learn to copy paste links from this news phone😙
 
He claims to have 7 kg. per ton, but he hasn't had it analyzed. Where can he get it analyzed? But he knows it is Calaverite. I hope Snoman appreciates the similarities between these 2 offers. Only Snoman has been a member for 10 years longer than myself, so he must be legitimate.
Exactly. He claims he needs it assayed, while ALSO claiming he ALREADY KNOWS THE YIELD. If he only has a tiny specimen of calaverite, then assaying it out of the country is probably a waste of time and money. None of it makes sense logically.
