Zumore/Helpful- re Tin Hill
My observations which come from actually been part of a team placing projects into production
1)Amateurish managment-Zu made this comment responding to Helpful;s comments (which I would label as naive) but it implies Helpful is actually part of the management team and he is never said that only part of an investment group.
2) sales in 1 week, seller shows up samples and then hauled away in a week-Again simplistic- Lets break that down. When typically sales occur - 3 samples are taken, 1-buyer, 1-reserve for umpire,/ product is delivered and partial payment (80-90%) is made, final payment is made after assay results are received-Note this process is used when there very good estimate or based on prior experience on the grade of the material, Assays take 3-4 weeks
3) assay timing-Helpful says within 2 days- I have no lithium experience, but have in hard metals (gold, silver etc) they take weeks. Keep in mind the samples also have to be delivered to the lab in controlled manner to minimize possible tampering.
There is also the distance between the lab and mine location. How far away are they? How is communication made?
4) Trucks-IF trucks are readily available I doubt they are immediately available, meaning the truck and driver have to be scheduled and this wont happen UNTIL AFTER the assay results are known and a sales price is agreed upon.
All of the above and more are logistically issues which are usually easy to address and manage but IMO not within a week
Overall it is a fast process but IMO not within a week
