This may help explain the market now catching on to why Sinosteel and Barry from MPS remain so confident...ALL +3mm is screened out in the assaying method prior to Jan 2007 in Las Minerale.

So the independent JORC consultant (Dr Phillip Hellman) is simply using all the data sent to them by Peter H after assaying and hence already excluding the Ncu prior to Jan 2007. Hence why the reported DD have been so much better since this time.

"Native Copper Assaying (Explanatory Notes)

Intersections from drill holes containing large amounts of copper metal are assayed at metallurgical laboratories by screening out all particles of native copper above
3mm which, in some cases, is more than 50% of the entire sample. This method is used due to the variable distribution of native copper and these coarse particles
being ?non representative?.
