Those interested in creating authentic, synthetic gold ingots should probably sit up and take notice of the recipe spelled out right there in the mea culpae press GRS/RJK p/r. Of course, Pb and an appropriate selection from Martha Stewarts designer collection of fashionable fall paint line might be cheaper..... g_t

A lot of gold, you can usually tell. That is bad. Very had. Bottril and Kasner will pay for this. There will be much ha ha. Perhaps undeserved, and no one lost money, but this sort of thing has been seen before. They have a point about timely disclosure. But wasn't it a Voisey Bay company that reported visible pentlandite and copper and it turned out to be pyrite? That is hard to tell, as oxidized pyrite does look like chalco and also bronzy penlandite. You can almost excuse them for that. Almost. You see sheets of pyrite undergound in fine fine splatters on rock. It is quite bright and looks remarkably like gold hammered onto the rock. "The dreaded sheeted gold" some call it. I have seen people that spent their life underground and they cannot tell if it is or not. Brass coming from a ball mill looks a lot like gold. It is brass and few tests with scratching and the like will tell you. If you can't tell, 98% of the time it is not gold. If you can tell, it is. Regardless of timely disclosure they had an obligation to know what they were talking about before they spoke. This was careless. There are acid tests, and particularly lye caustic tests for gold that are easy and cheap and would have prevented this. An SG test would have ruled out these metals. BTW, I would like to point out. We have stuff that looks like gold on our claims. It looks a LOT like gold. The rumour is, after 70 years and countless assays that it IS gold. The assays look spectacular. In fact they look a LOT like very high grade assays. It was even mined in the past making it look a LOT like an economic deposit. But that is just how it looks. Who can tell? And we aren't saying until we have it mined out and reported on by a qualified geological person. EC<:-}
