F the Wishbone drill site is near Telfer (Patersons Range, WA), then logistics are relatively straightforward because:
Telfer → Perth is a well-established mining corridor. Core samples are usually trucked to Port Hedland or Newman and then flown/road-hauled to Perth.
Transit time is usually 2–4 days from Telfer to Perth (road + freight), assuming no weather or access delays.
Refined Estimate for Wishbone’s Core
Step Typical Timeframe (Telfer → Perth)
Transport from site to Perth lab ~2–4 days
Core cutting & prep 1–2 days
Assay turnaround (standard fire assay) 7–10 days (can stretch to 14 if backlog)
Assay turnaround (PhotonAssay, if used) 1–3 days after prep
Overall
Conventional route: ~10–16 days total from August 21st → so results could land first or second week of September.
If fast-track PhotonAssay is used: potentially within 1 week → late August/very early September.
