RE: Excellent Recovery of 97.5%!!!
Actually, for all you pumpers out there, that bulk sample you are all quoting as being the sample taken to Kinross is NOT the sample that was ASSAYED at 1.4 opt Au with 97.5% gold recovery! The lead compound quoted as being of assistance in increasing the recovery of the Au from the sample is a compound used ONLY in the assaying process, not in a mill recovery process.
The sample that returned the 1.4 opt Au assay with an enhanced recovery of 97.5% Au was from a sample collected, presumably at Bonaparte Lake, by Mr. MacKay and delivered to the Kamloops assay lab by Mr. MacKay and weighed in at from 20 to 40 pounds and only that sample has had any results reported! PERIOD!
So far, there have been no assays returned for any of the material sent from the very small bulk tonnage sample sent to the Kinross mill.
