Apologies for being like a dog with a bone - I have picked through the RNS and will list some dates and references to the samples put into my own words.
22/07/20 - Bulk sampling announced, expect 5-10 tons, 3-5 to be run @ 3rd party lab (no confirmation of this occurring - but in later releases all samples taken were announced I believe).
14/08/20 - Permission granted through permitted development
07/09/20 - Commenced, they don't expect any results until the bulk sampling program is complete.
05/10/20 - 12t Collected from 4 targets - undecided whether to continue bulk sampling.
13/10/20 - Decision to resume
21/10/20 - 8 tons collected from Jack Williams floor, sampling to continue until end of October.
03/11/20 - 7 Bulk samples taken as follows:
LBS001 -3T
DBS001 - 3T
TBS001 - 3T
JWB001 - 3T
JWFLOOR - 8T
JWBS002 - 8T
JWBS003 - 8T
Total 36T
20/11/20 - Reference to 36t sample.
21/12/20 - Reference to 36t sample.
08/01/21 - Reference to 36 ton sample, however it is now ~36t.
This is all open to interpretation and if my thinking is wrong please correct me, I am no expert.
I suspect that since all samples were defined at a weight prior to the RNS on the 8th, that a 'small' sample as stated in the RNS and the fact that it did not reference ~35t but ~36t, means the sample was possibly under 1t.
Perhaps it was 1t exactly and I am stuck in a rabbit hole, trying to answer a question that is of little importance!
In the long run, it may not be important, hopefully going forward they will be clearer in their RNS and stop some confusion.
If anyone has any insight I would be grateful, although, I think after this I can consider the bone buried.
