O.H. the thing many seem to miss her[e] is the fire assay. Te reason it is
important is a FA is deemed representative of what can be recovered.

Ron, I didn't miss the fire assay; what I do miss is 0.81 (AGM) minus 0.05 or 0.04 (BD, '95; B, '97) = 0.77 or 0.76opt of recovery. That is a very significant difference.
So far, of course, IPM hasn't been able to verify that they can recover any metals in excess of what was signed off by BD in December 1995 (approx. 0.05opt Au). OTOH they have claimed the ability to recover much greater quantities.
Each can draw his/her own conclusion.
