News Not sure if this was posted yet !!! Salting, I doubt it. IMO Cheeky Kid (Sometimes cheeky, use to be a kid) Thu 17 Apr 97 The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, April 17, edition that previously undisclosed assays on drill cores taken from Bre-X Minerals' Busang site and received uncrushed by an independent laboratory, revealed lots of gold. The Globe's John Stackhouse, Michael Den Tandt and Allan Robinson write that Rudy Vega, a metallurgist hired by Bre-X last summer says the secret assaying was done by Inchape Testing Services, an independent laboratory with facilities in Borneo and Jakarta. Mr Vega says the tests remained secret until now because an unnamed Bre-X executive wished it so. Bre-X's main lab, PT Indo Assay Laboratories, had a back log of work last January and the overflow of rock core samples was sent uncrushed directly to Inchape, says Mr Vega. This means, if salting did occur, then it happened before the samples made it to the lab. Mr Vega estimates that 35,000 core samples were collected weighing 600 tonnes.
