ALS CHEMEX LABSAs most know... there is a plethora of assay methods one can choose.
SLX chose sodium peroxide fusion for - Portage
Great results -
zinc was present Different out of Province Lab
Different method - Fusion AGAT Laboratories of Mississauga Ontario for analysis using the Sodium Peroxide Fusion method with ICP-OES/ICP-MS Finish( AGAT method "201-378"). Last eve i checked ALS ME-ICP41
well over 30 minerals under this label. ( ICP 41 )

Let's play suppose, suppose a student or novice was on dury at ALS New Brunswick.
suppose they looked online or in reference book for -
ME-ICP41 suppose the 9 elements popped up
suppose SXL's assays were only checked for... Au, Ag, Cu, Pt, Pd, Cu
And... forr some odd reason... Ni, Co were in the assay mix.
It would explain....
no zinc.
Versus... zinc encompasses far and wide in this region.
Even right at GW hole location... 1 + 2 ( tenching )
Why did SXL...
use different labs ?
Different assay methods ?
One hole of, 3
First 72 meters of drill hole not assayed ?
Visual grading - xrf tested ?
SXL... should test for... Zinc and Iron.
Cheers...
