If it did not fire assay I would expect it has major problems... I ran into one that did not solution assay but no fire? Well being an assayer I have trouble with that.. it would have to have rich selenium or high telluride or something in that order.. there are very few deposits who can claim that.. even Telluride, Colorado and Kirkland Lake did yield to fire... I did not look into it.. to be honest..

Double slag fusion is a fire assay... there are some contradictions in these reports.. Also, recovering 1 micron gold out of silica is probably not feasible at those grades... 1 micron us 1/25,400 of an inch.. that is 12700 mesh if a screen could exist at that size.. the grinding power to release the gold at that size is prohibitive.. If it could be leached by porosity of the rhyolite at a larger grind to say 400 mesh.. its a big maybe.. any metallurgy tests? Dr. Dr. Charters. EC<:-}
