| Abstract |
Recent analyses of scale collected from the surface equipment at PGV yielded highly anomalous values of gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead and multi-elements. The results from 12 separate sample locations of scale analyzed high-grade gold, ranging up to 17.2 troy ounces per ton (opt), and high-grade silver ranging up to 400 opt. Copper ranged up to 5.19 percent, zinc to 24.0 percent, and lead ranged to 4.44 percent. Other metals were also anomalous, with arsenic to 6,960 parts per million (ppm), selenium to 7,700 ppm, cadmium to 2,029 ppm, molybdenum to 2,060 ppm, antimony to 1,510 ppm, tellurium to 284 ppm, and thallium to 115 ppm. |
