Ok, after re-reading this the answers are pretty simple....


So why cant BBX provide assays the same way a normal gold explorer does?
I've read it's due to the gold being in an ionic state, is this the reason?  Yes


So rather than use the "norm" when it comes to extraction/smelting etc they have had to "makeup" or concocture their own way to assay due to this issue?   Yes


If that is the case, how does one understand and then believe in their results if the way in which they are determining the process is somewhat hidden from the market?  Did you read this?https://hotcopper.com.au/threads/ann-exploration-update.4550319/  Smelting of the sample renders it amenable to standard fire assay and QAQC protocols.


If the ionic state is the reason for the way they have had to use different means/ways to get assay, will this also be of concern when trying to develop/produce the gold? ie: added costs/time/infrastructure/? Pretty much sorted although there's some more optimisation required, and what do you think this is?  v v
