Gerald, There are many types of placers. So that complicates the discussion. I am no expert on placers and not even an expert in mining as I am constantly learning. <I had always heard that companies, big or small, do not like to mess with placer deposits. Proving up resources and reserves is just too difficult.> It does depends on the type of placer. Sure difficult in alluvials from river beds. But why would it be in conglomerates. These can be drilled to collect (mini-bulk) samples and that can be processed instead of assayed. Much more expensive I am sure, but difficult I don't think so. Why sould it be?
