Optimists brought up investor resistance to heap leaching, an extraction method that had made fortunes in the 80's.

A press release announced that an experimental extraction technique had yielded results that were higher than expected.

In the present case, the complete condition of the iris made it clear that the ordinary extraction operation had not been performed, nor was I able, on the closest inspection with the aid of my lens, to find any trace of the less common "needle operation."

In vulgar breasts no royal virtues dwell; Such deeds as these his high extraction tell, And give a secret joy to him that reigns, To see his blood triumph in Monmouth's veins; 30 To see a leader whom he got and chose, Firm to his friends, and fatal to his foes.

When the audit report was finally released, it verified only the original assay results, a year old, and made no mention of the extraction yields.
