Why didn't they show any sort of mineralogical analysis of the filter paper that was to be wiped along the surface of the agitated mixture?

The reflective, metallic appearance could be due to various minerals or elements in the ore, not just PGM's. PGM's are definitely not the only hydrophobic minerals that are even likely to be present in this light colored powder regardless of the precursory separation processes. Likely candidates based on previous indicators include sulfide minerals such as galena, sphalerite, or pyrite, which are often involved in flotation processes and can exhibit metallic luster. Fine metallic elements like silver, or lead alloys could also float when exposed to air bubbles during agitation. In addition, graphite or other non-metallic but reflective materials may also contribute to the floating silvery appearance.

To confirm the nature of the material, a more thorough analysis should always accompany videos like this. If I'm being perfectly honest, the most professional, legit, and transparent thing to do would actually be to do away with the misleading and emotional videos, provide a formal report including an accredited expert describing the process, and just show the assay charts in full.

Look around this market at mining companies at any stage, especially those that haven't been ruled out by institutions, with established or in pursuit of reserves, and see if they do anything like what SDRC is doing. Metallurgy is no surprise to last years of sorting out in any legitimate mining operation but the fact that SDRC thought they could just skip that process in making their projections two years ago, and proceeded to pump up expectations of revenue upon a prohibitive timeframe without accounting for the time it would take to run such a crucial set of studies, paints a raw picture of their experience and qualifications if anything. They don't know how to talk to discerning investors in this industry and don't do the work to eliminate doubt. They command trust and loyalty while outspokenly holding industry standards in contempt explicitly designed to eliminate fraud. They continue to reiterate their mantra "this is not a traditional mining company", and their average shareholder on social media fails to come up with suitable comparables for study, nor do they speak of any knowledge of the mistakes of the past besides debt and dilution. Why are curated datapoints celebrated? Why are they quoting employees of the mining contractor when they have an accredited metallurgical expert who can do it instead?
