Hi Larry,

It all sounds very fishy to me:

"The orebody located on the property is well known as a magnetite resource having been the
subject of extensive historic exploration since the 1960s. In recent years, through identification
of extraordinary high-grade iridium in samples, it became evident that a significant part of the
orebody on the property is of meteorite origin, and it was established that the orebody
presented major potential for precious metals and PGMs."

As you point out, they later claim achondrite, thus ruling out Meteor Crater as the "orebody"
source. Given that achondrites derive from a differentiated body, the relative proportion of
siderophile iridium is going to be much lower than it would be in an iron meteorite. --Rob

Hi List,
Thanks for all the off list responses.
I'm not interested in where the company is located. More specifically, where is this mining location? Is it Meteor Crater? It says the meteoric impactor was an achondrite.
