Zeev,

How would magnetite come into play here? I have been told that there are some people that have used magnets to seperate the magnetite from the ore and collected the gold contained within.

In addition to that, it appears that Hewlett of Maxam also believes in the ionic nature of these ores. Now I am going off memory here so forgive me if I make an unintentional error but while talking to him at the Mxam AGM he spoke of being able to locate hot spots of the area by measuring the ions at the surface and referred to it as something like ionic migration. He also noted that there were differences in the ionic arrangement of the elements at different depths. He said he had a theory that this was a result of the specific time in history that the erosion of the metals occurred and although he has never sat down and tried to prove it, he believes that the opposite patterns in the ions correspond to the fact that the polarity of the earth between the North Pole and the South Pole has changed several times throughout the course of history. That, I must say, was something that I never knew but have since verified. Thoughts?

Zeev,

I passed your sentiments on to my wife, she was touched. Then I related the story of your name as another name for william and how when you perform a search there is only one Zeev Hed. She smiled and thought for a second, then replied "if we had a boy, we could have named him Zeev Zack". The room erupted with laughter. The name does have a peculiar ring to it.

David Hudson tells of an experiment in which he heated a monatomic substance in a pan in an enclosed chamber. The pan's weight was monitored continuously. He states that as the temperature increased, the material in the pan disappeared. He swung a pendulum through the space where the material was, and its path was not disturbed at all. However, the material still exerted some sort of levitating force on the pan because the pan weighed less with the now disappeared material in it than it weighed with nothing in it. He believes this material only exists in two dimensions when heated, and as such cannot be seen.

I realize that I have not attempted to physically verify or duplicate any of this, but I feel that I can use these facts as stated for the purposes of this mental exercise.

If the monatomic particles pull this disappearing act when heated, perhaps they are not tunneling, but rather no longer available to be melted and then collected on the collector. This theory (although borderline halucinagenic) can also be used to explain the anomaly of poor SFA results for the COC samples from MAXAM a while back even though the leach tests reported values significantly higher. It would seem that if you could cause this material to become diatomic metallic clusters using wet chemistry prior to the introduction of heat, this matter would take on the characteristics of the metals in question and behave more predictably.
