Condor, Just reading through the thread and saw your question to Claude ( apologies to Claude for answering ) but an oz is 31.1 grams. There are two systems which you can followup on in the link below, but in a nutshell precious metals are measured using troy ounces while other materials for sale use the avoirdupois system, which is where the 28 grams comes from. You have to be constantly watching to see that people aren't mixing their units these days, particularly in mining where you are just as likely to see metric units as you are to see imperial. scienceworld.wolfram.com While I've interrupted here, anyone follow Rubicon (RMX.V)? It's one of my personal favourites, so I don't want to be a pumper but they have terrific properties in a proven gold camp (Red Lake) and highly professional and competent people IMHO. I figured that with the quality and depth of the posting on this thread, it must be on someone's radar screen. Any comments pro or con? regards, john
