The samples were prepared and assayed by Bondar-Clegg Co. Ltd. of Argentina and Chile. The results from gold samples are from employing industry standard fire assaying with an atomic absorption finish. The results from silver samples are from using industry standard multi-acid method. Samples showing values greater than the 10 grams of gold per tonne or 125 grams of silver per tonne were reassayed using fire assaying with a gravimetric gravimetric /grav·i·met·ric/ (grav?i-me´trik) pertaining to measurement by weight; performed by weight, as a gravimetric method of drug assay.
