RE: How I get 0.02The NR said:
"The 127 samples were collected from areas of known mineralization by Douglas Lake's field crews. Each sample consisted of 150 kg of mineralized host sediments which varied from sands to conglomerates and gravels. These samples produced a total concentrate weight (dry) of 5.1 kg through processing in the field."
On the face of it, 5.1 kg concentrate came from 19,000 kg of source material (calculates to 0.019 gram/ ton ore resource). However, Harp has independently discussed and told two investors that the 5.1 kg was a sample from 6,000 - 7,000 kg of concentrate that was the result from concentrating 19,200 kg of source ore. Calculating the 70.5 gram/ton concentrate and applying it to 6,000 kg concentrate results in a 22 grams/ton ore resource. I personally know the two investors who spoke to Harp on this topic and do not question their integrity in reporting the total concentrate came from 19 tonnes was between 6 - 7 tonnes.
Am I hopping up and down about 22 grams/ton? No, because there has been no official declaration either way and hence leaves investors confused concerning the results. I have not been able to get ahold of Harp nor has anyone else from what I can tell. Perhaps we'll get Round #2 with a conference call this coming week so this mystery can be resolved.
