Say it with me now folks, d-u-s-t-e-r!

"Positive" results; "encouraging" results; the wording says it all.



WHOOOWEEEEEEE look at all that lepidolite! If they are willing to release a core photo of mica dominant pegmatite, but aren't willing to call it anything but a lithium-bearing pegmatite, what gives?


OH WAIT A MINUTE! But what's that over there?! Could it be a SINGLE spodumene grain that they think has allowed them to quote lithium-bearing minerals??? Amongst a sea of lepidolite. Desperation.


Very sad results. Uneconomic, 100:1+ strip ratio, too thin etc.

And the intercepts are not getting any thicker with better drilling!

Hmmmm something isn't adding up here, they said the results were "positive"! There must be more "positive" news hidden down deeper into the announcement. Let's go looking at the rock chip data!

As I suspected. We better convert the Li2O ppm to Li ppm to get a better understanding. Background granite Li ppm is approximately 20ppm Li as per the WA DMP.

• 65/79 samples are below 20ppm Li so these rock samples are actually depleted in lithium.
• How can "prospective" lithium rock chips, purposely selected by the SGQ team, be assaying under 100ppm Li???

And the pumpers have the gall to say these results are good because a Chinese Co is investing in SGQ to bypass FIRB rules. Blinders are well and truly on. The best part of all? You know the pumpers will attack me instead of the data.
