Defaming another business with lies to make your own delay appear non toxic is just fine with you , eh?
"My best understanding of Shawn's part in this is that Mike Hill told him something to the effect that the samples were "delayed", "not in hand", etc. Shawn then, in my opinion, innocently made a reasonable assumption that the delay was due to the lab and used the term "backlog" in his explanation. In retrospect, a mistake but NOT,in my opinion, a purposeful attempt to mislead."
Expectorate makes their business by processing samples on a time-line they promise to the customer. In this case Gemini was the client. Gemini was promised sample results and made PRs to the entire investment community that the samples were sent to Expectorate and would be processed by a certain date.
That date came and went, and Gemini decided to untruthfully lay the blame on a Expectorate and then got called on that and then retracted it. Why should anybody believe in a company that employs this kind of shady IR which impunes the business reputation of another company?
If Expectorate gets a reputation for not processing assay results on time, what will that do to their business? What will that do to their reputation if they cause mining companies to miss their deadlines promised to shareholders via PUBLIC PRs.
Give me a damn break. This is shady as all hell.
Shareholders here ought to DEMAND a public explanation and Gemini and Seacove IR owe it to Expectorate and the shareholders to fess up.
