I agree. Recovery rates are extremely high and confirmation of depth potential. I'm still playing with the map. Did you download the "complete list of channel numbers and their composite assays (PDF file) yet. Bottom left hand corner of map. pacrim-mining.com Qd

Hello Claude, I disagree. I haven't had a chance to review the news release until today. Picking through the news release, it shows me that 2 of the 3 bulk samples returned poor recoveries. Only the low grade returned excellent recoveries. The carbonaceous material must be the high grade that the old miners were after. The recoveries in the one to two gram material are good. But the recoveries in the carbonaceous material are poor. I do agree with PFG saying that column tests should improve the recoveries but not to the 80 to 90% level, maybe 50%, having carbon is not good. Having poor recoveries in the high grade will effect the economics of the project. When they averaged 6500 samples to get their grade of 1.56 grams, they probably included the high grade material which doesn't leach very well. I would love to see the average of all non-carbonaceous material. I bet you would get less than a gram. It is too early to say how many ounces will be recoverable. The metallurgy will be the key. No senior company will buyout PFG without knowing this first. They better start drilling so they can find out where they will start the metallurgy. There is that big payment coming. Cheers
