WMMI’s February 12 speaker is Calvin Johnson with Gold Prospectors of Colorado (GPOC). His presentation will be an accounting of his “Experience of a Lifetime” in the recovery of a quartz vein that assayed at 2281.7 ounces per ton containing crystalline (93.887 fine) gold wires.

In layman’s terms, that equals 2.87 million dollars per ton. The gold is in sugar quartz, which is very rare on its own. Calvin will have samples to view (sorry, no touching). The samples are very fragile and some crystalline gold wire falls out when handled.
