Chuca, Wishes=fishes.
Well, when the earth was a molten mass most elements got mixd up more or less evenly within this. As it cooled you got some degree of separation, but this was not extreme and the trace metals did not gain much at thios time. bulk metals like copper zinc were forced out as sulfide pods as the host rock went through it's final cooling. As it crystallized it excluded the sulfides and other metals. Some gold etc went along with this but usually well under 1 opt.
PGM usually went along with the nickel iron melted material and the PGM are also a lot lower in concentration than gold.

So after this how do we get the gold pulled from one mass and the PGM pulled from another mass and all laid down together with a total of 8 opt mixed??
You can get veins that are rich and as they weather they can form deposits that lie low due to density and we find them as placer deposits. They can be carried by water or air but they will work their way down due to density.
All these metals are easy to assay and readily extractable and 8 opt is a bonanza deposit. Anyone who says they are impossible to assay lies like a carpet....wall to wall. There are good assay methods for all the PGM as well as golds etc. Doubt me ? ask a good assay lab.
These crooks also get crooked assay labs that will make whatever report they are asked to make. All you need to make a crooked assay lab is a business registration somewhere and a typewriter and letterhead(easier with a laser printer and computer). No equipment is needed for a crooked lab
As for this deposit, with those grades I could mine it with a pickup truck and tweezers :). I cubic yard is about 3 tons and hold 24 ounces of precious worth an average of $400/ounce or about $10,000. better keep that location secret.
