David; When they do those tests they first inspect the core and do assay every 2 meters or whatever seems right to delineate where they have ore and where not, to find the cutoff, as the core often looks similar along the lenght(usually you can see the ore zones, sometimes not) The rock that is within the cutoffs goes to the leach tests, however the assays are just like any other and are available right away(now). Lakefield will do the leahc tests and then compare the recovery it gets with the total assays done up front to get a recovery ratio. If Barrick has to share assay data, then they must share this, as it is assay data of lengths of core. They cannot say it is part of a report to come later, as those assays have nothing to do with the leach tests, as many cores are assayed and never leach tested, so the data is free standing. I suspect Barrick will surrender it, as they have no defensible way of refusing, except straight denial of access, I do not know the degree to which PFG must be given assay data and how PFG can enforce it.. Of course PFG might want it secret too....? Bill
