Timelines and delays, page-17

They sent the first samples from Gold Bar more than 6 weeks ago to Wetlab.

Here is their statement from yesterday:

"Delays were experienced in obtaining these results as all three clastic zone samples contained traces of oil and the laboratory which carries out lithium test work in Nevada did not take this into account. This laboratory typically conducts test work on brine from salt lakes at shallow depth.

The initial test work did not extract the oil prior to assaying which masked the assay results. As a result, a different testing methodology had to be used to that originally planned. This necessitated sending the samples to three different laboratories for testing, resulting in further delays........"

They had the results from Wetlab weeks ago. It was because of the supposedly "poor" service from Wetlab which motivated them to send the samples to the other 3 Labs.

There is no way, when they made the announcement on the 12th March (3 days ago), they did not know about the poor services (supposedly) from Wetlab.
