Hi again,
I originally used an XRF machine to test a 2lb chunk of hard mining concentrate. It showed 35% iridium. Thanks to this group I found that it was most likely arsenic. So I had a ICP test done with American Analytical Services to test for Arsenic. That was way cheaper than testing for iridium and I figured if it comes back as 35% then I'll know there is no Iridium. It came back as 5.64% arsenic. Is there something else that the other 29% could be besides Iridium? I'm going to test for Iridium next, but I wanted to ask you guys because you're obviously very knowledgeable.
Thanks!
Julia
