Dr. J., I think that one hit the rim. If as Kim pointed out, the goal of Naxos is to put together one very impressive release instead of a few smaller ones, it is a good strategy. The reason I would also offer for waiting for all labs is if Naxos does get high results as have already been certified, the market will be more likely to believe it if those numbers are seen from two holes, 12 sections, 4 labs and 48 numbers as opposed to one lab and 3 numbers. In other words, there has already been somewhat guarded response to high numbers because after all, they were only 3 numbers from 2 samples. If 48 numbers from 4 labs and two holes almost a half mile apart all come in close in range, the high numbers become more believable.
It is not credible to me that Naxos can show COC certified results of 1.7 opt avg and then come up with low numbers. The gold would not likely disappear since the last tests.
In your opinion, do you think the last tests were accurate and representative of the property and what you really mean is simply that the testing needs more time? Or do you think that last tests were a fluke and the "real" testing will show low numbers? This is an honest and serious question, not a dig at all.
I am trying to get a feel for what the posters here think at this point in time, based on all the latest testing, about the reality of PM's, the likelyhood of cost effective recovery, etc..
