Thanks Tubber for your detailed views which appear to be an accurate reflection of much of what is known about gold- however there are still non-conforming bodies that warrant research, such as the Urals deposit cited in the paper at
https://www.researchgate.net/public...ng_ionic_gold_species_in_massive_sulfide_ores
An inference can be drawn that native gold may be difficult to see as it is in nanoparticles but much larger amounts can be held in ionic compounds or crystalline form that are morphologically dissimilar to native gold....and hence the need to develop the techniques that BBX is working on.

Perhaps there is an element of confirmation bias: if ores conform to known extraction techniques they are mined successfully....and BBX's ore deposit would have been discovered and mined years ago.

My own bias (and we all have them) is that massive returns are achieved when there reasonable odds of the unknown becoming known...in the mining field .In the intellectual property sphere,new knowledge rapidly takes over rendering the old worthless.Bit different here where BBX has the deposits.

Accepting what is known as the Gospel will deal with most situations, but leads to missing out time and again when confronted with new situations.

It's a bit like the art series "Fake or Fortune"-even expert opinions differ- but if you don't try you'll miss the one that brings a fortune.
