And ask him if the results are close?

If not when?

Did he F up when he sent in the drill core and not submit it properly and had too resubmit another sample?

I mean he saud on the 29th of July that ALS labs had received 2 - 3 cores, well that in my view is
47 days and counting!

What the H is wrong with the lab?

How come they do not complain these companies who want fast service for the money they pay ALS and just get the regular run around we all get these days.

Like when you pick up the phone too try too get help and you get a voice message telling you that " WE APPRECIATE YOUR BUISNESS, SO PLEASE STAY ON THE LINE WE WILL GET TOO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.   Then 2 minutes later the same message, then 10 minutes later the same message, then 4 hours later the same message!

In other words its a bunch of bullch@t and they should REALLY LOSE OUR BUSINESS, until they actually do CARE about our business!

But as in my last post about being put on hold etc. It as you say the labs fault because they were not either prepared for the big increase in work they are getting from this commodities cycle. Or its

Yep... It's frustrating. I'm all for constructive criticism of management teams but I don't see that being the case here. On the flip side, I get a laugh out of the management apologists out there on some of the other company boards.

There's an upside to all this. We'll be getting results until March of next year. Winter will not matter anymore. News flow will be continuous.
