Good post Geo, I like your simplicity, and indeed the intersection is thick, and I am almost sure that Ken has decided to pursue drilling at RR.
They will wait for the remaining of the results and they should be drilling again at RR, hopefully in a JV mode.

Too much exotic Gobble De Goop for me.

Thanks Geo Newfie, Some Study Material..

Thanks for this and All your time on the board...

I will study up on it as I hope others do.
I see a question on enrichment already ..lol

Solid Info helps

For those keeping track, here is what the company reported

The 7.5m width

lanthanum
cerium
zircon

0.164% TREO
0.113% LREO
0.051% HREO
0.268% zirconium dioxide
0.039% Nb205
0.022% rubidium

and the PR to double check against

Newfie's Post

From my looking at various REE-related stocks it is customary to report them as total rare earth oxides (TREO) and then break out the heavy reare earth oxides (HREO).

KATX sampeld a 10 m interval for which we have current results and wihtin that interval they had 7.5 m that had elevated REEs as well as other incompatible elements. For example, Ru, Zr, and Nb, while not REEs are incompatible and commonly associated with other incompatible elements, such as REEs - which is why they probably reported them.

La and Ce are light rare earth elements (LREEs), which explains why the TREOs are more LREO enriched.

I really do not know what concentrations of the other incompatible elements would be considered good, but at this point I just want to see high TREO (at least 2%) with half of that being HREOs.

IMO this would be good to advance the program at RR for REEs. If they had 0.5% to 2% TREOs over thick intersections, that would also push the project forward IMO. They described a thick intersection, so there are potential zones that are preferrentially enriched. That is what I am waiting on.

I hope this answers some of your questions wrt RR and its potential REEs. I would think that results will be released in the coming weeks, if not sooner.

Its always about advancing the program
Positve results move one forward ...

Thanks Geo and GLTY
