[QUOTE="Harlequin, post: 540534, member: 1614"] A few things to ponder: 1. If 100 kg sample = 6.23 gms then 1000 kg (1 ton) = 62.3 g/t ! 2. Many producing mines in Australia operate at less than 3 g/t e.g. Granny Smith (Goldfields Australia) ....5.6 g/t Cadia Valley (Newcewst Mining ) .....1.22 g/t Ravenswood (Resolute Mining) ....2.09 g/t 3. Over 50% of all gold recovered world wide is from quartz. The grades that you are quoting are really amazing. I'm spending real money looking for an ore body on the basis of 2.32 g/t sample.I've found the gold (just like you have) I now need to find an ore body that will justify a mine. I won't try and crush and recover gold but rather, if successful, I'll sell it to a big mining company. Give it some thought. [/QUOTE]
