Not usually. You normally assay for everything under the sun and then get lost in the detail of what is significant. I guess you could say that a company using the best assay method for gold and/or silver without regards for other processes for either whole rock, minor metals, trace elements, column leach etc etc is more interested in mining the market rather than mining the rock. If you can get the company to send you raw assay data, then you can backcheck their releases to see how their higher grade intervals are calculated. Companies that will supply raw data to investors are respectable companies with nothing to hide, although you may have to prove to the company that you know what to do with it. Regards, Ujina
