Need help, the dried filter paper weighs .3 grams heavier than an unused one, using the .3 as a baseline how many grams of precious metals would there be in a metric ton 2200 lbs.

Thanks.

1,000,000 grams in a metric ton Eh, all I want is 672 of them grams per ton. That my friend would be 21.60 troy ounces of gold valued at $24,295.03 American dollars per metric ton.

Lately my luck don’t run that way, so I'm going to process another sample from this batch before breaking out the champaign.

How much did your sample dirt weigh? If your sample dirt was 1 kilogram, 1000 grams, and you recovered .3 grams of precious metals from 1000 grams, then... 1 metric ton, 1,000,000 grams would yield 300 grams precious metals or 10.71 oz. (not troy, not sure the conversion)

The conversion would be 300 / 31.1 = 9.64 troy ounces
