I've just had a look through the JORC code and nowhere does it say this method wouldn't be JORC compliant.

http://www.jorc.org/docs/jorc_code_2012.pdf

I've also just spoken to a fully qualified metallurgist friend of mine and he said (and I'm paraphrasing him) a met extraction followed by an assay 'would be messy, ideally it would be done by a single organisation, but if they manage all the data carefully, it could be JORC compliant'. But this latest test was a test to see if they could recover PM's other than gold. It was not proposed to be a 'JORC compliant assay method'.

We know they are working towards a simple and repeatable assay method, like the 07 September 2020 announcement for the ICP-MS assay method that was carried out for gold by IPT.
