Earlie:

Assays are sent out whenever there's a sufficient batch (~couple of dozen?) for somebody to take them to town and ship them to the lab. They don't necessarily wait 'til the hole is finished. Split core in metre lengths can accumulate quickly....so I would guess twice a week?

Have no fear, Falco won't let you (or me) know what they are until Falco's good and ready: or when there's a discovery that can materially affect NAR .

Visual indications in the search for base metal sulfides are important tools, and the experienced people they have logging core should be able to tell percent Cu and Zn, and be able to quantify the intensity of alteration. So that they can respond to events rapidly with the drill, and not have to wait for assays (like one would have to for gold).

Management of some junior gold companies keep their geologists in the dark as to assays, which means the geos can't properly plan anything, and holes are spotted by the 'free-lunch' crowd in Toronto. Not the way NAR/Falco does it!!

Cheers,
Andreas
