Clearly Pumpy has no idea how assay and drilling coupled together have certain time levels .
Wouldn’t surprise me if they are not even invested .
Very sad .
To give context, exploration companies often publish results some weeks after drilling or sampling. Some general industry benchmarks:
• According to one source, labs typically aim for 5–7 weeks (about 1½ months) from sample submission to results being ready, under normal conditions. 
• Another analysis notes that backlog and logistical issues can push it out to three months or more. 
• So many companies in the junior exploration space factor in 6 – 12 weeks (or more) before public reporting of results.

✅ My rough estimate for Rockfire
Given Rockfire’s operations (in Greece, multiple landowners, permit/land-access logistics) plus assay lab turnaround, I’d estimate that from drill hole completion to public assay release could typically take 6 to 10 weeks, assuming no major delays.
However, this is only a rough estimate: actual times could be shorter (if labs are quick and logistics smooth) or much longer (if there are permitting, sample-prep, lab backlog or transport delays).

⚠️ Key caveats
• If drilling is in a remote/complex location (transportation of core/sample to labs), that adds delay.
• Lab backlog (especially multi-element or “critical mineral” assays) can significantly add to time.
• The company might wait to batch multiple holes before releasing results (so even if one hole’s assay is ready, the announcement may await 3-5 holes for a “story”).
• Assay results also need QA/QC, interpretation by geology team, compilation of tables and regulatory/market-release preparation (which takes extra time).
