Kim B. Good post. That's what we needed to hear. I think you've answered the question on the COC issue. Thanks. JLA

Then Behre Dolbear's role of performing chain of custody duty is
irrelevant. Clearly, Behre Dolbear can only guarantee chain of
custody from drilling to arrival at CMRI. After that CMRI was
responsible for sealing and delivery of processed material to Ledoux.

So, folks, forget about the validity of Behre Dolbear chain of
custody. It doesn't mean a thing because another third party (CMRI)
handled the samples.

Did Ledoux reject the samples that were retrieved from the supervised
drill hole at the Franklin lake property on September 17, 1996?

The Naxos website does not have the press releases prior to December
20, 1996. The question is, did Naxos release certified or uncertified
numbers from Ledoux for the samples taken on September 17, 1996?

In the December 20, 1996 press release Ledoux states the following:

"Clearly, the line of custody for the samples that were retrieved
from the supervised drill hole at the Franklin Lake property on
September 17, 1996 was compromised. A proper line of custody requires
a unique identification for seals so that the recipient can verify the
integrity of same, and all parties who handle said samples must be
identified along with the material. These two criteria were not
fulfilled. We are not questioning the integrity of the people
involved, just the lack of professionalism in maintaining a proper
line of custody for said samples. The word "sealed" is misused
throughout the report, as it would relate to chain or line of custody
- no official seals were used."


This was AFTER the ASE got involved. Why did it require the ASE to
make a big stink before Ledoux finally admitted the samples they
received had a chain of custody that was compromised?

Kim thanks for your resopnce and detailed explanation on COC. After reading it I have assumed that all samples certified by Ledoux for Naxos in the past have no COC issues as far as Ledoux and Naxos are concerned.

No so I do not make an ass out of myself by assuming.

IS this a correct assumption?
