I'd like to pose a question here. What if, using completely blind samples, Ledoux is able to repeat the results of the last 10 holes? That is to say, with Ledoux not knowing which are blanks, standards, which are which holes, what depths, nothing is known at all, and they repeat similar numbers at similar depths, the blanks come up blank the standards come up specific opt's, etc.. and everything comes up solid, how does that affect our mindsets? Does this not put the pressure back on the check labs? Does this not put Ledoux back on track and create a new push for getting the check labs up to speed? OR Does this STILL leave doubt in anyones mind here on this thread? Do we STILL contrive every form of conspiracy we can imagine to explain how this could still be a set up from Ledoux and Naxos? For me, it would not be a big surprise if Ledoux were able to repeat their work and conversley the check labs just don't have it down yet. Ledoux has shown metal with COC material too many times for me to believe this is all some form of bad testing. What we clearly do NOT have is one method of testing that any lab can run anytime to get similar results. But on this thread there seems to be an environment that has been cultivated over too many years of false starts which is very well suited for conspiracy theories. When Ledoux got those first two holes out with good solid numbers and blanks and standards came back on target, we all seemed quite ready to "believe". But now that the results are being questioned from the check labs, we fall back very quickly into rumor, innuendo, etc. etc.. Let's wait for the retest from Ledoux and then we will know. No matter which way the tests go, I firmly believe that the metals are there. Even after 8 years in two week intervals, this is still a waiting game and only the most patient will still be in the game when we get the FINAL answer on FL ore. But PLEASE, PLEASE, lets try to keep discussions about Naxos as objective as possible. This is an investment, not a family member. Personal comments, attacks, etc. should not have a place here. Many of us are all getting enough flack from our family and friends who we recommended this stock to, let's at least try to have this be the one place where we can try to seek the truth and not take pot shots at each other. Good luck to us all. Tom F.
