That's a high reading of Iridium. Am I right? Compared to the other
material found. I believe THAT is the important point, yes?

Thanks Yinan,
I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree---but what am I missing?
A pile of dirt or a rock that is half the size of my car will yield 3.3 Pounds
of $Really$ good stuff.
If it is so, It would have been named AREA 51.5 long ago.
Just my spoonful of dirt...$$$

They did an assay on the ore and the results look off the charts,
which brings up the question of why hasn't this already been mined if
true?:
Oz per ton:
Silver………………………………... 7.2
Gold………………………………… 6.9
Palladium…………………………… 4.8
Platinum…………………………….. 5.1
Rhodium…………………………..... 7.6
Iridium…………………………….... 15.4
Osmium……………………………... 5.5
Ruthenium…………………………... 3.7

I was under the impression that ALL orebodies in the Earth's crust are
of meteoritic origin from the late heavy bombardment since all metals
consolidated in the Earth's core when it was a molten body.
Sounds fishy to me, too.

Hi Larry,
It all sounds very fishy to me:
"The orebody located on the property is well known as a magnetite resource
having been the
subject of extensive historic exploration since the 1960s. In recent years,
through identification
of extraordinary high-grade iridium in samples, it became evident that a
significant part of the
orebody on the property is of meteorite origin, and it was established that the
orebody
presented major potential for precious metals and PGMs."
As you point out, they later claim achondrite, thus ruling out Meteor Crater as the
"orebody"
source. Given that achondrites derive from a differentiated body, the relative
proportion of
siderophile iridium is going to be much lower than it would be in an iron
meteorite. --Rob

Hi List,
Thanks for all the off list responses.
I'm not interested in where the company is located. More specifically, where is
this mining location? Is it Meteor Crater? It
says the meteoric impactor was an achondrite.
