CALCULATIONS TO DETERMINE AMOUNT OF GOLD CREATED

1. THE TWO?STEP METHOD: We had 132.8 ppm. We compared it to the standard we made which had 8.9 milligrams of gold dissolved therein so that it became 17.8 ppm in the standard solution.

132.8 x 8.9 / 17.8 = 66.4 milligrams (mg)

The total product powder, the after burn residue, was 131 grams, or 131,000 milligrams. Thus the concentration of gold by the TWO-STEP method was:

66.4 / 131,000 = 507 X 10?6 = 507 ppm

2. THE SECOND METHOD: We had 445.9 ppm of product powder. We compared it to the standard solution we made which had 8.9 mg of gold dissolved therein so that it became 17.8 ppm in the standard solution.

445.9 x 8.9 / 17.8 = 223 mg

Beads of 3.3 grams out of 3.43 grams obtained were used for the ICP measurement. The total product powder obtained in the SECOND METHOD was 481 grams, or 481,000 milligrams.

Thus, the concentration of gold was:

223.0 mg x 3.43 / 3.3 / 481,000 = 482 X 10?6 = 482 ppm.

Therefore, based on the ICP measurements, about 500 ppm of gold was transmuted in Thermal 2 Experiment.

From the above figures, if we desired to obtain 1 gram of gold, Thermal 2 Experiment indicated that we may need 2 kilograms of mixed chemical (C, KN03, S, SiO2, FeS04, Cd, Hg2Cl2, PbO, Ag, and CaO), 5 kilograms of flux, and 1 kg of sodium borate.

Dr. Bockris selected samples of the before and after ignition for independent analysis exterior to the University. The following is an abstract of the independent assays:

In review of the abstract you will see variations between assay reports. This can be explained in part by the phenomenon known as the "Particle Sparsity Effect."

THERMAL 4 EXPERIMENT

This experiment was conducted in the Chemistry laboratories at Texas A&M University on June 10, 1992. Drs. Bockris, Bhardwaj, Monti, Lin and I conducted the
