Hi Walt. I'll toss out a general question or two for our resisdent gurus to take a shot at. What is a general figure for the lowest concentration of gold that would be considered minable? I understand that this depends on the size of the deposit and the specific chemical makeup of the ore.... And on the other side, what would be considered a really great discovery, oz/ton wise? I'd be interested in seeing examples of what some great discoveries assayed. Finally, what are some techinal buzzwords to look for....what are some of the best types of rock for mining gold, short of finding mapleleafs? Thanks.
