Re your comment: "Announcements have to be made by a competant person under industry guidelines . Having been involved in the exploration industry , no geologist would go on paper and make an assumption of whats in a core . Geologists are notorious for not giving an official opinion . The company will wait now for the assay results."

Sorry, but your statement is demonstrably untrue in the very case we are talking about. Who else but a Competent person - a geologist - would have said:

"Weak sulphide mineralisation, consisting of pyrite and lesser chalcopyrite (overall estimated at LESS THAN ONE PERCENT SULPHIDES) was intersected between 558m and 587m, and 689m and 710m depth and is currently continuing."

Or

"Drillhole MS 1 is currently at a depth of 783m, and is drilling ahead in hematite-altered breccias. The thickness of the breccias intersected is now 225m. .....................As previously reported, the breccias consist of a variety of matrix and clast support styles, with clasts of metasedimentary and igneous rocks within a hematite-dominated matrix. A variety of clast types, and evidence of repeated brecciation is evident, and sericite and silica (quartz) alteration occur throughout. However, volcanic rocks and tuffs within the breccias have now been identified. These rocks are very similar to rocks known from within the upper, unmineralised parts of the Olympic Dam deposit (see Figures 1 and 2)."

These statements are respectively from the 23 and 25 November TAS reports to the ASX, and I think contradict your statement more than somewhat.
