reality check.

there is no gold or platinum in Franklin lake. At least not the amounts they claim. Johnson valley neither. Or in desert sand all aross Nevada and Arizona.

Its a scam.

salts of gold trichloride?

I used to assay salts of gold 100 times a day by actual count. Gold always ends up a dissolved salt of chlorine or cyanide when using chemical assay.

It is assayable. If it ain't there it ain't there.

Sorry.

The old assayer.

And before you question me about how I know .. I took assaying in school. That was a subject. The called it pyrometallurgy and chemistry. I practiced it professionally, by Atomic Aborption and Fire assay.

There are interfering elements that with both platinum and gold can affect the assay either fire or chemical or irradiation.

They are selenium, boron, hydrocarbons, clay, tellurium. Although Tellurium is difficult, it is well known and the methods to control for each element that interferes has been documented and tested for, for over 70 years. You can go back to texts written in the twenties that talk about such matters as different collectors for Pt and Pd such as nickel and iron. Assayers who know what elements are there can control for them.

If there are some mysterious elements in Franklin Lake that are
gremlinizing conventional assaying then it would behoove the people at IPM to be absolutely forthcoming about it and tell it like it is, so assayer around the world who know about these problems can nod in agreement and buy the stock .. provided they show a solution.

Too much smoke and mirrors and obfuscation for my taste.
