Thall AS always, if you have questions, you may actually seek answers instead of casting semi-obscure accusations. One path leads to knowledge. The other to hard feelings. You may follow any path you wish. This is what I have been able to find out. Coming through me, the information is filtered through a very imperfect medium and therefore the information may be somewhat unintentionally altered. You may, however try to actually find out for yourself, if you are actually interested in the truth. Or you can continue to be an armchair quarterback commenting on a game watched through a scrambled screen. The choice is yours. In relation to past assays and present; Any analytical protocol is totally reliant on the quality of sample being analyzed. Therefore if the prior sample collection technique(drilling) is inappropriate, a representative sample of the ore would be almost impossible. Analytical protocols employed in the past as used by various outside consultants called for very small sample masses with massive additions of precious metals such as silver for collection. That had the tendency to interfere with the accuracy of the analyses being conducted. Rocky Mtn, has a facility that has an extensive sample prep facility, having votype blenders, mechanical rotary splitters, large drying ovens and 1.5 kilogram charge,ring, and puck mills for the grinding of the samples to a given size, so that the samples can easily be homogenized. R.M. is not leaching the materials at all. they are solely drying the samples and splitting them into representative sub-samples of the original with the use of conventional sample preperation techniques. The lead fire Assay being conducted at present has been defined by LeDoux (an intl referee lab) I am very comfrotable taking their word over yours, Franks, or just about anyone elses. From what I can gather, FL is an ore that has two componants. One conventional(free gold) and one not(refractory). Naxos has been able to Use Std Lead Fire Assay on ore that has COC designation by not one but two engineering companies. They hired Kleinfelder to do the drilling and another firm to act as watchdog. The ore is then shipped under COC to LeDoux who performs the testing. Do you have any problems with that? It appears to me, that they are going way beyond what is necessary to prove this property. Double COC, testing by int'l referee lab using conventional, industry standard techniques. If you have any more questions, I would be happy to put you in touch with the people who can answer them. Or you can just make comments off of the top of your head. Mark
