I was a placer consultant for a TSE company. We did test on properties in Canada for economics. Very tough stuff.

Did my own work on my claims in BC. Did some work for SELCO on rivers in BC.

I am aware of the point you are making. the way to do gravels is bulk recovery tests with a similar to production plant and assay cons with fire. Absolute knowledge of heads and tails is out the window.

If you fire enough small samples you get an idea. The amount of gold in the rock should be determined. This is not hard to do. I have seen the odd placer (Vermillion River, Sudbury) where it mattered. Not often.

If you had a 1/10 in a gravel I would not care where it was. You could do it conventional and it would work.
