X-Ray Fluorescence on M-3 Source Sand, M-3 and Sea Water Precipitate
Canadian mine tailings (M-3
source black sand) was tested in the XRF and revealed a plethora of metals but
no gold, iridium or rhodium.
Black sand contains: vanadium, chromium, copper, nickel, iron, zinc,
arsenic, selenium, rhenium, tungsten, platinum, niobium, mercury,bismuth,
silver, lead, ruthenium, silicon, polonium, tin, antimony, and aluminum.
Ferromagnetic elements present: nickel, iron
Paramagnetic elements present: copper, silver, platinum
Because this is the starting
material for the M-3 precipitate a sodium burn was performed on the black sand
to first produce M-3. This was dried
and placed in the XRF to record an elemental analysis for examination.
M-3
contains: iron, polonium, zinc, aluminum, and silicon
Ferromagnetic
elements present: iron
Pacific Ocean water sample
was taken from 6 feet of water in Huntington Beach California. The precipitate extracted at pH7.5 was
examined in the XRF.
Pacific
Ocean ppt sample contains: Calcium, Magnesium, potassium, mercury, gold
Possible
monatomic elements: Gold [blunted
spectral line indication]
Analysis of black sand and m-3 monatom content based on
presence of Al, Si and Iron:
Small likelihood that monatomic
gold was present due to the fact that the indicator lines Al, Si and Fe were recorded
in the expected place for the elements.
Analysis of Ocean ppt monatomic content:
Strong likelihood of monatomic
gold. Expected blunted spectral line in
the correct position.
