What is Considered High Grade Gold in Gold Exploration

Low and High Grade Gold Ratings. High grade gold or low grade gold can have very relative meanings, depending upon the context in which they are used. While a rating of 10.0 g/t Au would be universally considered quite high, a reading as low as 3.0 g/t Au might also qualify. This is where context comes dramatically into play and why the ...
