E. Charters: I agree with you that a good SEM trace should be able to show some evidence of the goodies if they are indeed in the range of more than 10 PPM (about 1/3 of an Ounce per ton). You will not see with an SEM clusters of 45 atoms, however, for this you need an atomic force microscope (I think that is what these are called nowadays).

By the way, aion microprobe trace with a well calibrated ppiece of equipment should also be able (after hard and arduous work) yield traces in the 10 to 30 PPM range.

Why it was not done? Well here I am a little puzzled mysefl, since in their 1995 annual report that showed some traces, but I got into big and bitter arguments with CL as to traces of what these were. On one hand, CL was claiming that Te was interferring with fire assay but on the other hand those traces showed no Te, which of course, CL then stated that the traces were already on prills (but the pictures were not). So I gave up on this avenue to find what is really going on. Keep on digging maybe you will find something.
