We are a full-service organization, with a number of specialities.
How many times have you looked into your gold
pan after carefully panning it down and seen no gold, just worthless black sands. If your like
me and thousands of others you probably dumped it out right there and moved on to greener pastures. Right? Well just maybe
you dumped concentrates worth hundreds, even thousands of dollars per ton. How were you supposed to know that the gold
was locked up with black iron (magnetite) or stained black or brown from manganese oxides. Or how were you to know that sample
of worthless black sands you just threw away contained silver, platinum, rhodium, tungsten, molybdenum, nickel, tin,
cobalt or other very valuable elements.
Or, how many interesting looking rocks have you tossed aside, seeing no visible
gold. These same rocks that carried microscopic gold, or any of
the other valuable minerals and elements mentioned above.
Well, I personally have in my rock collection samples
from Carlin, Nevada that carry over 2.5 ounces of gold per ton,
yet there is no visible gold. And a few months ago I was about to dump the worthless black sands
from my gold pan and went ahead and sent them off to an assayer.
About 3 weeks later the results came back. Thirty one ounces of gold and five ounces of silver. Yet, not a speck of gold was visible in my pan.
The
solution is simple enough, when in doubt, ASSAY....
Below I
have listed several assay labs. You may wish to contact them or others you may find on the net
for their latest quotes, turn around time, etc.
