From a report prepared by: Behre Dolbear & Company, Inc., Submitted October 1994 and signed by Bernard J. Guarnera: <Initial samples obtained by IPC were subjected to methods of analysis generally applied in geochemical exploration including Atomic Absorption Spectograpgh (AA), Inductively-Coupled Plasma (ICP), and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). Resultant analyses consistently showed high gold-contents.> Several people on these threads have suggested these procedures. It would appear from this statement that they work. Why aren't they still in use and why don't we ever see any of these results? <Surprisingly, parting of the amalgams for the samples altered ("salted") by Behre Dolbear produced no abnormal amounts of gold.> BD said salted, not me. They did not say spiked. As I tried to point out, this is not bad, it is just terminology used by BD instead of Spiked. <The reason for the loss of the added gold is not known at present. It is apparent that the DCRS plant for some unknown reson failed to recover the gold and it must be assumed that it was lost in the tailings from the concentrator. This then poses the question of why the plant consistently recovers extremely small-sized gold particles even though the plant feed contains no gold detectable by standard fire assays, but then apparently failed completely in recovering the know and substantial amounts of clean gold.> It is strange. <Although material from the BRX property does not respond to standard fire assay techniques, Behre Dolbear has verified that the DCRS process does recover gold from the material. No conclusions are made concernig the effectiveness of the process but only the acceptance that the process demonstrates that measureable amounts of gold are present in the material from the BRX property of IPC. Although not characteristic of the average amounts of gold recovered in the samples, one sample did show recovery of gold equivalent to a grade of 0.030 opt.> I am sorry, I don't put a lot of faith in this kind of reporting by a consultant.
