Ann: SLB: Trident Lithium Project Technical Update, page-20

Yeah lab times are extremely blown out but the use of a pXRF machine.... onsite, can give you a pretty fair idea of what's just been drilled.
That can lead to 'extra' drilling.... if needed to speed things up a bit.... not waiting for lab results to define what's there in order to work out where and what you will drill next.

DRE, CNB and others have used it to very good use and has increased their drill rate considerably.
It doesn't and wont take the place of official lab results..... but can give a very good idea of what those results will be.

I agree they need to pull their fingers out, but I'm also comfortable that they are doing all the necessary ground work to get things rolling and once underway should have steady news flow.

Caruso knows all this.... he's done it all before and has plenty of reasons to succeed.
With luck the next few mth's should start to see significant SH value imo.
