RE:Drill resultsThat's a question that has always come up, as the mining companies have virtually no control over the circumstances that the labs encounter, or how busy those labs are. I think this past year +, has witnessed especially slow return times for drill core results, due to all sorts of regulations due to "covid", as well as the tremendous amount of junior miners drilling (especially in Canada), resulting in huge backlogs at the labs.
That's why, over the decades, I've learned to appreciate and adopt the "doris day" patience approach, i.e, "que sera, sera", and accept that we'll get the numbers on the submitted holes in due time, and that those results will (hopefully) be what we are wishing for, or better.
May the "gold gods" bless us all (if such gods exist) :)
