You asked for data, got a peer-reviewed lab name, verified ICP-MS methodology, and a direct quote confirming anomalous REE values—then pivoted to “not a fan of ALS” and start reminiscing about your favorite labs like it’s wine tasting.
Let me help you out:
Aqua regia ICP-MS isn’t used to give you %TREO. That’s not what this phase is for.
You probably know this. But pretending otherwise lets you move the goalposts again, right on cue..
ALS Reno is a Tier-1 lab trusted by majors. One sketchy incident overseas doesn’t disqualify them—unless you think your personal anecdote overrides global credibility.
And just to clarify:
When a lab says elements like cerium, lanthanum, and yttrium are “anomalous and above background,” that is the data. That’s what matters at this stage.
If you want a TREO percentage, I suggest you hit the road, Jack🎶—and come back when the release drops..
