As general mineralogy, not an Osmond figure, garnet is a family of silicates, and industrially a hard angular abrasive used in waterjet cutting, sandblasting and filtration — a commodity valued for its physical behaviour rather than for a metal it carries.

At Orión, garnet appears in the record in one place only. Osmond's published "Heavy Minerals" definition, dated 19 February 2026, names garnet as one of the minerals making up the heavy-mineral fraction. That is the whole of what has been reported about it.

The rest is absence, and it is precise rather than vague. Garnet has never been individually assayed or assigned a grade in any release: no bulk-sample percentage, no drill-hole grade, no concentrate figure. That absence is publisher-verified across the announcement record — it is a checked result, not a gap in this dossier's reading. Garnet sits inside a heavy-mineral total of 29.4–32.8% in the bulk channel samples, with up to roughly 40% estimated in the AV-01bis interval, but no share of that total is attributed to it.
