The Chinese are not focused on "re-testing what's in the ground" at this late date...
There is not a question about IF the SRSR rocks have value... or if they have the values that have been reported.
Did you happen to read the PR regarding the extension of the JV?
From the PR:
In order to advance the project during this exclusive period, Nio-Star and the SOE have worked together to collect approximately 900 kgs of rock samples from the adit area of the project's D Zone. These are being shipped to China for metallurgical and process testing. Full results from this testing program are expected to be completed over approximately 3 months.
Please indicate where I said that. I said that if the Chinese opt out I would question what they did not see. I did not say they would opt out. I address (in my emails) the technical aspects of the stock. I post here seldom as to do so is to welcome attack, especially from you. Thank you for pointing out that the Chinese are not verifying the samples but only doing additional metallurgical analysis. That was a fact I was not aware.
The additional studies they are currently doing in China would have cost $250K to do in Canada. Our potential JV partner seems pretty serious for them to be taking the time and money to do such tests on 900kg of rocks they shipped back at their own expense.
