Ann: Mount Berghaus Gold Results, page-35

You can be bothered replying, but not addressing any disagreement.

Here is a previous post where are talked about the crustal abundance of more common elements.

Not really wanting to talk this down, but the fact is those numbers look like a waste dump should, nothing is commercial, or really, even close. Gallium values are maybe just over twice average crustal abundance, Rubidium is actually a very common element, and those grades are at best a tenth of something you might look at. Maybe some process exists to concentrate the rest of the basket, but not for only 3Mt. Was good to check it out for a possible win, but IMO kick it to the side and focus elsewhere.

So you can deride other prospects in other threads talking about crustal abundance, but it doesn't matter for gold and arsenic, which are rarer than gallium or rubidium (previously discussed)?

Crustal abundance of Ga, Rb, As and Au:

19 ppm, 90 ppm, 1.8 ppm & 0.004 ppm.

The best hole had some sample coring which was over 50 times crustal abundance for As and over 890 times crustal abundance for Au.

This is only AC drilling to determine where to do RC. Towreanna's first feasible assays of paydirt back in 2019 were 67 metres deeper (at 209 m) than the best result here (between 40 and 44 metres).
