Buzzby, the final results were always going to be at the end and sampling would be done by the pilot plant.
The problem is that Alba announced back in the Summer that the first sample (3-5 tonnes) will be send to an independent laboratory for analysis - they did not do this.
Instead they sent concentrate to them laboratory and come up with that confusing RNS without explaining. I don’t believe they are hiding anything, they just deviated from the announced plan and then came up with the confusing RNS with no explanation.
IMO, they rushed the RNS. Then they saw the market reaction ... and what really annoys me ... that was over two weeks ago and they did nothing to rectify it.
IMO, the reason the market reacted negatively is because it was expecting an RNS to announce X grammes of gold per tonne in that sample, not a confusing RNS which effectively said all going to plan.
