Can you clarify for us what ICP results are?

[Calvin Hobbes]

I believe they meant several sections of the first 50M. Being that it clarifies it in the next PR.

The company is still waiting for the latest results from drill hole #2 on its Rusty Ridge project.
As stated before in a prior press release, results have been received from the upper 50m of the 334m of
hole #2 but results have not been received from the remainder of the selected sections sent for analysis.
In speaking with Actlabs who are doing the analysis of these samples it may still be a couple more weeks
before results are received.

I've included it for your info.

"the upper 245 meters of the 344 meter long hole. Initial ICP analytical results indicated elevated lanthanum and cerium through several sections".To me, it says about 2/3/'s look great and we will know more shortly. Some I believe thought the first million never came,and some thought Handcamp would not get drilled. Some thought more money ever came, and some thought Rusty would never get drilled ,it just so happens that those were the same "some" who thought the Option agreement with the second largest mining company in the world was a bad deal,even if it meant a Billion for Kat.IMHO, they were wrong about everything!

I don't think some Board members understand just what WAS P R ed about Rusty Hole # 2. The Company SAID they have assayed most of the good-looking sections all the way down the hole already. But they only asked for Lanthanum and Cerium ( I believe it was ) to be used as pathfinders for additional REE s. Now they are taking the best results of these plus some additional sections to be assayed for a more extensive suite of REE s. These are the results they are waiting on now. It is my interpretation that they have already assayed the best looking sections of Hole 2 ( a long time ago ) but only for Lanthanum and Cerium. So we shall see who is correct. Under this scenario I'm not expecting much of an improvement beyond a Ho-Hum !!!

Gump, if after receiving those initial ICP result, and with those results showing that we have high concentrations of interelement interference within those selected sections. Then its only appropriate that they should send those section out so that it can be tested for REE’s that would be affected by these interelement interference to obtain a more precise analysis of the levels of concentration for all possible REE’s. No!


ICP-AES: Our analysts review all of the data generated and will take particular note of samples with high concentrations of elements such as Fe and Al, which give significant interelement interferences. Similarly, they closely watch the concentrations of those elements such as thallium, tungsten and uranium, which are most affected by interelement interferences. Concentrations of elements in these situations are verified by examining the spectra in detail and by alternative methods such as AA when possible.

I agree. Hole #2 has already been screened preliminarily for REE traces.
Now we are awaiting the second, more in depth analysis to be returned for selected areas of hole #2.

Under this scenario, I am optimistic. Also may explain what appears to be a delay.

As stated in the last PR, much is going on behind the scenes.
