Ann: Assay Update, page-199

One single solitary sample is not really how you test a brand new assay method for a given deposit. It’s a pretty token effort tbh. No wonder the photon laboratory put them at the very end of the job list.

If they were serious about photon they would have sent a split of every sample in TERC-002 to compare against their nickel extraction method and the validation laboratory assays. Three-way validation would have been great for assessing precision.

Have they even chosen a validation laboratory for their TERC002 umpire samples? Feb 4th announcement had them still seeking third parties in Brazil or Australia. That should be the priority since by their reports the TERC002 nickel extraction assay results are done, just sitting in someone’s csv file waiting on independent validation.
