RE:If the 1st report is from the lesser grade sampleThis first batch of results was from the lowest grade area of the bulk sample. In my view, I believe the result was within expectations for this particular area.
I think the negative market reaction is due to Strathcona's extreme comment that there is NO VALID RESOURCE at the VOK and this has spooked investors. Snowden is in total disagreement with the Strathcona position and will bring in an expert to review the up-coming mineral resource update.
It makes one wonder.........why was a second consultant brought to the table. The Strathcona tower sample grades 2.08 g/t and the Snowden actual mining result was 4.03 g/t. A difference of almost 100% between mini-samples and actual bulk mining samples.
