Excellent presentation, I appreciate the flow chart concerning selective precipitation of platinum group metals. Additionally, does anyone know what the device pictured at 5:03 is? Looks like an artificial heart/pacemaker to me. Thanks!
You care about accuracy because mining is business. You need to know exactly how much product you're going to get for budgeting, etc. It costs a lot of money to mine. You can't afford to lose product. And as an assayer, you can't afford to lose ions.

It probably is!
ahaha if you have more than 5% precious metal, who cares about accuracy

The metallurgists operating the mill will need to know precisely to fine-tune the processing of the ore.
