salting
The fraudulent adulteration of a sample, for example, adding a small amount of gold to a sample to make it appear that the gold content of the rock is much higher than it actually 2744 is. Salting may be accidental, caused by the fortuitous segregation of rich mineral during sampling. Sampling methods are conducted to reduce chance segregation to a minimum.
