Test results to hand show ore grade values of gold and silver in\nseveral of the field samples. The laboratory tests were carried out by Grand Junction Laboratories,\nColorado. Those showing ore grades are as follows:\n\n Grams per Ton\n\n Sample # Gold Silver\n\n1. IWM - 1 6.78 1,549\n2. IWM - 4 7.77 123.48\n3. IWM - 5 68.43 4,696.6\n4. IWM - 6 12.75 332.8\n5. IWM - 11 1.06 44.48\n6. IWM - 12 7.59 419.9\n7. MC5A 3.67 69.3\n8. MT122-04 6.16 90.8\n\nSample IWM - 5 was of particular high grade, containing 40% galena (silver bearing lead sulphide),\nresulting in the understandably high reading of silver.
