Mr Swick You claim you agree with Andrew Scoggins, but obviously its a selective agreement.

Lets try this again. Graphite exploration – the importance
of planning Author Andrew Scogings, Industrial Minerals Consultant*
, looks at the different exploration and
testing methods and reporting conventions used by the graphite industry

(RC) = Reverse Circulation DD = diamond core drilling

Scoggins Quotes
RC is a type of percussion drilling that uses
a hammer to pulverise the rock into powder
and chips, which are brought to the surface by
compressed air RC is a useful way of infill drilling between DD section lines to
demonstrate geological and grade continuity, as it is quicker and less costly than DD. DD is however the preferred method of exploration drilling for graphite.

Inferred Mineral Resources represent material that is considered too speculative to be included in economic evaluations. SO how do you form a Preliminary Economic assessment without any flake size distribution. The different flake sizes fetch different $/tn. Without that your in the dark and its a given that the RC drill pulverizes the flakes like Skoggins said.




As to your claim that DNI have never claimed that aircore drilling was inadequate

In July 2017, DNI’s board ascertained, that Cougar’s R/C drilling rig, would not provide proper samples to determine the flake size distribution of the graphite. DNI brought in and paid for 1,040 meters of Diamond
core drilling, which was completed in 60 days, to determine the flake size distribution, and to provide a better evaluation of the property.


Randal Quote
In regards to available days to drill I just highlighted two of the categories of days we were unable to drill due to conditions beyond our control. Again I don't see what point you are trying to make in respect of the dispute that exists between DNI and Cougar.

My point is From March 24th to the Dec 1 default date, there was 253 days to drill. Your company only managed 1700 Meters drilling in those 253 days when you promised 3000 Meters and a full NI 43-101 resource report in 90 days. You then made excuses after you were defaulted on and blamed DNI after the fact.
