Ron; One routine precaution in labs is to wash the core as real gold does not dissolve, gold chloride does. This is done if there is any suspicion. If not done the gold chloride would indeed end up as gold in the final assay. Another way would be a powder of gold and powdered core which could be added in pinches. Adding pur gold dust would be hard as you would have to add milligram amounts to each kilogram to get the range found. 1 milligram in 1 kilogram of sample is 1 gram per tonne. Liquid in a hypodermic would be easy and if the lab was not suspicious they may not wash to clear soluble golds. Residue tests should find ssoluble golds in it was done, as long as th lab did not consume the whole sample. A 1% soltution by weight of gold would hold 10 milligrams per Cubic centimeter(CC) so a 2 kilogram sample would take 1CC to salt to 5 grams per tonne, plus the background gold. All the gold needed would fill a coke can 2/3rd of the way to the top as metallic gold, and to as a 1% liquid quite a bit more, but 1 liter a week would be more than adequate.
THIS IS NOT TO SAY THIS WAS DONE. JUST MECHANICS OF HOW IT COULD BE DONE>
