1. Did you know?

   Gold grade is normally reported in grams per tonne (g/t).

   A 3 g/t deposit contains how much gold in one tonne of ore?

   3 grams3 kilograms3 ounces

2. Did you know?

   Gold isn't always visible — most economic gold is microscopic.

   If you can't see gold in the rock, what does that prove?

   The rock is barrenNothing — you must assay itThe grade is under 1 g/t

3. Did you know?

   Exploration is about reducing uncertainty, not chasing one lucky hit.

   One 20 g/t rock chip means you have a mine?

   YesNo — continuity must be provenOnly if it's on a ridge

4. Did you know?

   Soil geochemistry finds where to look; it does not measure ore grade.

   What is soil sampling best for?

   Proving tonnageVectoring towards targetsMeasuring recovery

5. Did you know?

   Recovery is the share of contained gold your plant actually captures.

   90% recovery on 1,000 g contained gold gives you…

   1,000 g900 g90 g

6. Did you know?

   Refractory ore locks gold inside sulphides, hurting simple circuits.

   Best route for refractory ore?

   Gravity onlyFlotation + CILHand panning

7. Did you know?

   A deposit is only economic if revenue beats capex plus opex.

   High grade always means high profit?

   YesNo — costs, depth and tonnage decide

8. Did you know?

   Before you mine, understand what you have.

   What should come first?
