With the original Juma results yes. They were seeing gold that did not assay. That's what caused the share price to crash as the visuals had got the market excited. From memory some of the gold (~20%) eventually assayed by the first proprietary technique at the time was found to be free gold based on screening. But the original technique only assayed grades of about 5g/t at Juma.

As for an explanation I don't have one. All I can say is that although the speeds of the electrons are high their energy contribution to the entire electronic energy state of gold is small only creating a slight contraction in the difference in energy levels between two of its outermost energy states (electronic orbitals). This alows the absorption of the blue light as I've explained that makes gold appear yellow rather than white.

My feeling is that the relativistic effect in gold is unlikely to allow strong or unusual bonds to be created with other elements and even if it did any compound created should be viewable under relfected or transmitted light, particularly if its grade in the rock is 300g/t. If standard identification of these gold compounds are not possible under visible light there should be electron microscopes or atomic microprobes that should allow the in situ identification of the metal composition of these compounds. These same instruments should also allow a subjective estimate to be made as to the volume of the rock occupied by this compounds.

Keep in mind I not an expert in this field so this is only my opinion.

One question I have is has the company run and published the results from regular assays of the sampling done at Tres Estados and Ema. This is information which would also seem to be relevant for comparison purposes. It would help establish how much gold and other metals are liberated via normal pre-treatments.
