When we were on the site visit we saw all of the sacs of the pulverized material from the 2009 bulk sampling in the warehouse/processing facility. Theoretically that could be sent away for processing as could the crushed rock piles from the field of dreams but I think the company will need to keep all of them around at least until all compliance issues with respect to a resource estimate are met and documented by a third party qualified person. My understanding was that Jim Tilsley may also be able to use some of that pulverized material for determining the gold grain size distribution - a helpful step in defining accurate grade estimators. I believe the gold that goes into the assays themselves is destroyed as part of the measurement.
Best,
