...the first batch of approximately 400 samples was processed for base and precious metals during a 10 day period. These data were reported to Noront's Quality Control QP, Ms. Tracey Armstrong, P. Geo., of P&E Mining Consultants Inc. from April 7th through April 22nd, 2008....May 02 news
at that time pressure was mounted enormously to Noront and the Lab..it still took at least 10 days for base and precious metal tests..
That is why people should assume Lab test with- redone once-in house analysis etc -takes at least 8-10 weeks ..before any assays come out..
I assume we have finished the first cycle in early August..but in last piece of news, I noticed that Noront ,in addition to controlled samples, has place some 10% samples to other lab to test in order to have double/triple assurance..that is a resposible management deed but it may complicate/prolong the lab process..
I may assume mid August will finish the time cycle (12 weeks ) and from that onward,assays news will be coming out smoothly..
Hope some expert make some comment,please
