I don't think even GPGI knows this yet. My understanding is that this is "microfine ore", or something like that, which has not been processed before, and is not even acknowledged to exist by conventional mining interests.

I have the same impression expressed by Ed F. recently, that enough smoke has shown here over the years that the probability is great that PGM's do exist in recoverable quantities, perhaps extravagantly so.

I will be surprised if they actually produce 10 OZ per ton in the near future. Maybe later, after there is time for more research on production methods. For now, any level of economically sustainable production will be a great accomplishment and will set the stage for further improvements.
