[meteorite-list] Key Capital Announces Major Potential Meteorite Mining Opportunity Joint Ventured

[Yinan Wang]

They did an assay on the ore and the results look off the charts,
which brings up the question of why hasn't this already been mined if
true?:

Oz per ton:
Silver………………………………... 7.2
Gold………………………………… 6.9
Palladium…………………………… 4.8
Platinum…………………………….. 5.1
Rhodium…………………………..... 7.6
Iridium…………………………….... 15.4
Osmium……………………………... 5.5
Ruthenium…………………………... 3.7
