Hi @Minion32,

Yes , there may be some reason why Soil Sampling must be delayed until April (3.5 months).
But the "return" of Lithium to soils is NOT one of them. Give me a break.
GMN has already demonstrated that stream sediments do not produce Lithium in the dry season,
even when near and downstream of Lithium hits.

Refer: ASX 22/11/23 https://hotcopper.com.au/posts/71033395/single
Figure 2-Thematic map of AnomalousLithium values in stream sediment samples in Logradouro tenements.
and HC Post https://hotcopper.com.au/posts/71053288/single

IMHO Soil Sampling for an extremely mobile element like Lithium is completely futile anywhere
in the natural world where there is liquid water movement.
Commercial success comes exclusively to those who sample/mine lithium minerals where there is NEVER any contact with mobile liquid water.
Examples: deep in fractured surface rocks, rock channel cuttings, deep ancient brine beds.
None of these applicable methods are directly affected by wet seasons.

IMO All future GMN announcements on technical matters should face strict quality reviews before publication, not after.

@Tothemooon : IMHO patience will not resolve these concerns. I too would like to see drilling start,
but recognise that rational risk-managed and thoughtful scouting is a prerequisite.
In your post 12/12/23 above you present GMN as claiming "systematically progressing" is a virtue.
However we would agree that there is no virtue in applying inapplicable/dated systems.
Right ?
