Doug, I would take job on the condition that I could sample all washes (dry steam beds) for geochemical analysis. This would show parts per million of gold. I would not fool with platinum. If the washes showed a geochemical anomaly for gold, I would take job and continue to sample upstream in washes for increased gold content. (This is the way the big companies often locate hardrock deposits.) I would also hire mineralologist and metalurgist to identify mineralization containing gold if found. Once the mineralogy is understood, extraction could follow. Also, once minerology is understood the property could be drilled for reserve calculations. How can anyone do assays when they don't know what they are assaying? Tim Hall
