What does that even mean? Here is the Assay results from a reputable Lab with 30 yrs experience! The latest assay results from AGAT Laboratories in Ontario , using lithium borate fusion for REE ( rare earth elements ) values are consistent with past sample results for Shadow Mountain.
The cerium values are in the range of 185 ppm with gold and base metal credits. It indicates an inferred resource of approximately 25m tons of mineable ore containing approximately 10.2 million lbs. of cerium. Commercial applications of cerium are numerous. They include catalysts, additives to fuel to reduce emissions and to glass and enamels to change their color. Cerium oxide is an important component of glass polishing powders and phosphors used in screens and fluorescent lamps. The estimated possible value is as follows.
