Mate I don’t really care what you think. If you wish to lie and say I am trying to mislead other investors go for it. I am simply stating my take on what I read. I try to find information relating to this subject. Some is quite informative so I read it. I’m not sure if the link above works, but I found this on the internet this morning.

I do this because you are trying to paint a picture that RDN is being dishonest and deceiving. If they are then I will be complaining myself and doing whatever is necessary to seek justice if that is even possible in the ASX casino.

You are the one who is claiming there is ‘missing’ meterage of core left out regarding analysis. I don’t believe for one second that RDN is trying to mislead investors by hiding some of the core. That is what you are trying to portray in many of your posts. So who is misleading? You have never once posted the legal or industry standard requirements about what and how the cores must be analysed.

Now, if there is an industry standard that says a mining company MUST submit every single millimeter of a core for analysis at a lab then I will stand corrected. That is because I NEVER ever want to mislead any investors. I have always held myself out as someone who is not a geologist or scientist, simply pushing back against non-holders who I suspect might be trying to hoodwink investors out of their money. I don’t go about lying to do that. I try to just research myself to keep informed as best as possible.

The source I was reading from earlier on the internet was similar to what you had found, but I didn’t see anything about the whole length of a core being pulverised and sent to the lab.

My view is that I believe, like it can be seen by applying that thought process to the article in my link above, which shows diagrams about how drilling finds the necessary mineral or metal they are looking for, that core samples ARE selective, BUT the entire core is ‘logged’ with on site analysis, photographs etc., so as to be an accurate record. I am still trying to find anything on the internet or elsewhere, that specifically states that ALL of the core MUST be pulverised and ALL of it analysed at a laboratory. If I can find it, then great, I will post that. If you find it then post it please. Then we all can be educated yes?

I will say this though. By having a really good understanding of what is in this link above, one should be able to understand that it seems ridiculous to think that the entire distance of drilling down will find the necessary metal or mineral being sought. That is geology. They will drill through all sorts of rock, various forms of basically dirt and other elements, before finding the section of pegmatite. My view is that it is this section of pegmatite that is MOST IMPORTANT. It could be a section 10, 20, 30 or 40 metres in length out of their entire core, found by drilling at an angle. This section of pegmatite is what I believe is then sampled. The rest of what is drilled out is still photographed, recorded and logged but NOT analysed at the lab. This section of pegmatite probably is pulverised after being cut in half and all of it analysed to give the percentage content. Do your agree or disagree? Let us all know your thoughts on this @Maverick7?

I am just like anybody else here. Just interested in MY own investment. You aren’t. You seem just interested in messing with everybody else’s investment. I don’t think you here to help anybody. By the way, if you are not short, why are you here? Same as other always say, because I can be? Hmmm.

By the way, the link above is not for or against RDN or lithium in general, or any company. It is just another bloody article about core drilling etc.. We all need educating on this. Good or bad. Stop trying to paint some holders out to be misleading when they are not. Mode is definitely not misleading IMO.

P.S.@Flyingcactacus - Really? He is worthy of a read? Lol
