Zeev, You may be a great chemist, but obviously not an experienced assayer of precious metals. Inquarting is so common and so well accepted that I am surprised that you do not know the term. In this process, a measured amount of precious metal is added to the crucible and then subtracted from the final assay results. The net effect on the assay results is (zero) if done properly. I am no expert, but the inquarted precious metals have been shown to draw the assay precious metals away from the slag and into the bead. Perhaps it is a language problem. Perhaps you do know the term, but not in English. I wonder what the "chuckaspeak" for "inquart" would be? Jack
