Thank you. However, if you send a sample to an assay lab and ask for analysis of say Ni or Cu, I don't remember being asked what the expected value was when I submitted samples for analysis. High Cr, however, involves special analytical techniques. Ni and Cu are routine analyses. It was up to the lab to ensure that a proper range of standards was used for analysis. Hence, I don't buy into NOT's response re "overlimit" for Ni and Cu. Analysis of core from AT12 for Ni and Cu should be routine. Cr assays are irrelevant for AT12 as the visuals said semi-massive sulphides.

Using the "assay values" as an excuse, is in my opinion, "smoke and mirrors".
