Not enough acid or oxidant = all minerals
don't digest Too much acid or oxidant = chance of eye dropper siphoning only acid or oxident
no minerals = obscurs ratio of - gram of ore vs 3 oz of acid ( example )
Suppose one found their perfect acid ratio volume
per - 1 gram of ore.
Suppose all minerals were placed into digestion
= solubilized.
First Issue -
Nickel is known as a transitional mineral.
Asscoiated to -
platinum group - chromite - magnesium Fire assaying at this " early stage " would chance the nickel
to potentially - remeld back into one of the 3 minerals above.
= results for nickel would not be accurate.
One could use diluted acids...
DIgest all minerals but... platinum group.
Drain the solution...
Then one has potentailly separated all minerals
including nickel from - platinum group.
Could this be - achieved ?
I wouldn't bet on it...lol
Here is where i figure...
Nickel juniors are al lover the map - with grades.
Each have a different process, each have different grades.
Of course some deposits will naturally be - higher grade.
But evenstil, juniors in same " closology zones " should have
same percentage grades - or close thereof.
And... those who use same oxidents + acids - do.
Yet... every so often,
there's one that chooses a diff acid in same zip code,
and suddenly - better grades are acheived.
This... anomaly, is what drives me to better understand - why.
As mentioned in previous posts -
I discovered specfic acids create different molecule bonds.
Some far larger than others....
Meaning - more oxygen and hydrogen bonds.
And if, a mist spray is used to detect percentage of mineral
here is where too large of a bond could pose issues based
on it's molecule size - vs - smaller molecule size.
Turns out...
of one introduces a second acid after initial first acid digestion,
it doesn't reduce like i thought... it actually produces a far more
complex bond creating all the more - molecules.
Larger the molecule - with many more O + H bonds pushes out other
nickel bonds of the same due to new upsized of new compounded molecule -
thus... lessor chance of spectrometry machine detecting all the
more nickel -
In my minds eye...
One would have to use one gram of ore,
flly digest it.
and mist entire volume of acid = fully solubilized gram
to get a full gram vlaue of what percentage of
what'sin the 1 gram.
YET... assay lab website state they only use - few misted
vapor squirts to test.
And as mentioned... god fobif they forgot to - agitate the vial.
Ugh.
squirts
i've analyzed this nine times from Sunday... lol
What method do i feel should be used ?
1 - test entire solubilized - gram of ore.
some may say... if they took 3-4 sample tests
they simply multiply this to arrive at a gram eq.
yes.. .correct.
but... the subject of was the vial agitated comes
into play.... and what if, most nickel bonds
sank near bottom and the lab personel
only tested the surficial solution atop the - vial ?
you know.. .newbie summer student... tease.
METHOD #2
Grab one gram of ore -= you now have your - CONTROL -
in which to use to guage - percentage per - 1 tomne.
HCL - ACID
Use a tad more acid, ensuring all minerals are fully digested.
Ensurung nickel - comes out of, chromite, magnesium, etc...
Even longer wait times.
Notate - that some nickel may create multi bonds
chloride and sodium.
One could dehydrate the solution using dryers.
But what would that achieve ?
a mess... of chloride minerals whereas, all the harder
to separate.
ELECTROLYSIS -
would be the ideal proceedure to - pull all nickel
perform a second electrolysis pulling all
sodium - looking for a nickel sodium complex bond.
Once all electrolysis is performed.
Nickel species pulled.
Fire assay the rest to determine all other mineral values
as mention in many press releases - PGE values go off
to fire assaying.
Several months ago,
I thought sodium peroide was the - best thing -
Not until i probed a tad further and found... all sorts
of issues. Even the fact of adding sodium to peroxide
only places addtional minerals with in, and as noted,
nickel can form complex bonds - with the sodium chloride.
I would not bet the boat on - spectrometor - distinguishing
between sodium and nickel - that being... sodium and chloride
have a strong bond and most likely the spectrometor machine
has been calibrated already to identify - sodium.
Would it detect a tag along nickel ?
Ha.
THIRD OPTION
Use H202 ( 35% or greater ) hydrogen peroxide
Crush silicates down to ( 35 micron ) 2x tinier than standard
hoping to liberate any nickel locked in the silicates.
And.. faster digestion.
turn all minerals species to - oxide or hydrides.
then...
test entire gram
add up all mineral ppm values based on 1 gram = 1 Kg
then, convert to tonnage.
I would have to say... maybe this is why cnc used,
straight peroxide.
turn it all to ocide or hydroxide.
test entire gram or sample - for nickle hydride or oxide.
then... fire the rest looking for - chromite + pge.

HOW MUCH CAN - 5KW - OFFER IN ENERGY ? 5kW generator can power up to
four lights
fan
electric motor

SMART HYDRO POWER - https://www.smart-hydro.de/renewable-energy-systems/hydrokinetic-turbines-river-canal/ LET'S NOW ASK....
How much energy would be needed to operate this
hydrogen dry cell unit ?
- Not much power at all.
River turbine
Feeds Hydrogen turbone ( Japan . Germany ) former post
make al lthe hydrogen or electricity one would ever need.
For those who are not familiar with Hydrogen porduction
Here's a very small ( unit ) that produces
mega hydrogen. VIDEO - DRY CELL - 38/L per min = 54,720 L per day
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lrBcof0d-0 And... Canadain Gov't offering " upto " 40%
tax savings... if hydrogen energy is created.
Imagine of a larger entity - teamed with evni ?
I wonder if a - jv - would qualify for the program ?
Either or... if junior tapped this funding, knowing
upto 40% was given in kickback - on taxes...
it's like 40% of the costs - could be recouped.
That's nearly 50% of a projects costs...
that could be recaptured.
Hence... look for non dilutive finacing....
buy the energy equipt... get 40% back.
That's all i'll post for now....
Surely the junuor has recieved some sort of inspiration
with a few of my posts....
- retest cores ( turn all to oxide / hydroxide )
- then... test all particulants for each metal.
- river generators
- hydrgoen energy
- hydrgoen rebate
EVNI - needs to put this project, into 5th gear.
Our news flow vs valuation is grossly affected during
lag times... our foundation might be found upon
studies, and future advancements that frames
the entire project going forward...
It's the missing element.
At least i think so.
Cheers....
