Don't forget the Ruthenium, Osmium, Titanium, Molybdenum, Tungsten, Aluminium, Copper, Iron and Nickel.
All complementary to the elevated/bonanza grade levels of gold, silver, palladium and platinum.
All showed up on SEM scans of rock chip and pulverised samples proving they are there in some quantities. Commercial or not were going to know pretty soon.
"The results from the Ema and Três Estados rock chips and pulps show the presence of significant levels of precious metals in the majority of scans of both rock chips and pulverised material, confirming the presence of these metals in the rock itself which has not been subject to any form of processing. These results provide strong evidence that the high levels of precious metals extracted cannot be attributed to contamination. It should be noted that these results represent point samples of individual mineral grains in each sample and should therefore be treated as qualitative rather than quantitative results. As oxygen and other minor elements were not included in the scans the results should be factorised to allow for the presence of oxygen and possibly other minor constituents. Results of the SEM scans conducted on the Ema and Três Estados rock chips and pulverised samples on August 23, 24 and 25, 2017 are shown below."
I wanted to highlight the above as I don't think anyone has emphasised those highlighted lines previously.
Most of the metals listed above are on a decent run atm. Check the charts.
