And yet in an in-depth interview with Jim Puplava, SVM's Lorne Waldman claims the trucks are carrying 45 tons.

So, which is the true statement?  The one made on the 43-101, or in the interview?  They can't both be true.

And if it's 45 tons, why is the lowest cost silver producer in the world overloading its trucks by 50%?   Is there a shortage of trucks and drivers in China?  Wages too high, are they?  I don't know if they use public roads, but at the very least they're putting the driver at risk of a serious accident.  There are several photos of their trucks on their website, including one which clearly shows the size of the loads.  Somewhere in SVM's reports there'll be a number indicating the density of their concentrate from which, in combination with that photo, you could do a reasonable estimate of the weight of a loaded truck.

But there's an easier way than that.  Publish the scale tickets for the period in question.  Of course if it's 45 tons it contradicts the 43-101.  Kind of trapped themselves there, didn't they?

Just to be clear, unlike Jim Puplava  (http://www.secinfo.com/d19eV3.qc.htm) I don't hold a position in SVM
