On the 16th of July we were told by Cougar that the reading was all a mistake. So where are the people that did the wrong testing in the first place. Why isn't Cougar being backed up by Golder Associates?
As per the 16th of July ?We have now been advised in writing today by the independent testing laboratory that the result from this one sample was incorrect,? Cougar Energy?s Managing Director, Dr Len Walker, said today. ?Further, and prior to DERM?s announcement and its decision on Kingaroy, we advised DERM that a subsequent test sample taken one week later and submitted by Golder Associates from the same water bore generated a clean (zero) reading, free of contaminants,? Dr Walker said. ?Cougar Energy is confident that a full investigation into the discrepancy in the laboratory results will confirm that the Company has been conforming with Government requirements and that a reading submitted in good faith by Cougar Energy and which resulted in this sudden DERM shut-down decision, is incorrect.? Cougar Energy executives are this afternoon meeting with DERM to advise of the laboratory results discrepancy and will be presenting DERM with a written admission by the independent laboratory regarding the incorrect results. Cougar Energy will also produce results to verify that the last two monthly sampling tests conducted by Golder Associates showed no trigger levels of contaminants.
