If you are a eefiner, either hobbyist, or seasoned pro PM me and let's chat. For the right individual I will furnish a nicely sized test sample, either crushed to say 100- or raw material if you can handle some of that...

I can get it pretty clean, but 100- is the limit of my size standard and unfortunately you can't get all the Fe out you need to with capabilities I have. My recovery rate is around 30%. There's still a lot. But 30%. That's weak, lol.

What are you showing in your pictures?
 

I have assay pending. I'll share results.
My apologies...I am just a curious observer.
The reason for my question was because I'm used to seeing ore samples here that plainly show visible/"free milling" gold or pyrites. I can't see an indication of either in your pictures.

Good luck.

Well, with these there's Au + White metal. They're doing 5 spec analysis in NV as I write this. Was thinking about trying a smelt, but if PGM it'll fail. Au is abundant in blue sulfides as nd white metal in rust.

Still curious. What is the "blue" sulphide mineral? I'm guessing the "rust" is decomposed/oxidized iron pyrite(?).
