Here's an article that repudiates Northern Miner claim:

Globe says most rock samples crushed at lab far away from Busang

The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday, April 16, edition that Bre-X Minerals did not crush significant amounts of rock at its Busang site until early this year, a senior Bre-X official confirmed yesterday. The Globe's John Stackhouse, Michael Den Tandt and Allan Robinson write that they have documents supporting the claim the majority of samples were crushed and prepared for assaying far from the exploration site, at PT Indo Assay Laboratories in Balikpapan, Borneo. How and where the samples were crushed has become a central issue in the Bre-X tale. Indo Assay employees have repeatedly declined requests for interviews. Rudy Vega, a consulting metallurgist hired by Bre-X last June, says only survey samples, rocks brought in by geologists, were crushed at Bre-X's Busang laboratory. The on-site sample preparation facility was only built last year, he said. Bre-X said categorically last week, that only "waste rock" was crushed at Busang.
