Mgmt always claimed the SOE never delivered the report. The deal never went anywhere because China's economy and the mining sector went through a period of stagnation and contraction. No doubt Scott's shady nature didn't help matters.
The idea that there was anything wrong with the rocks is typical of the BS posted here. Not surprised it's being brought up again after a good PR.
Plenty of work was done after the SOE deal fell apart, including more drilling. To say otherwise is also a lie.
