....hey Don......whatever the actual reason for the lab breakdown.....I envision SGS backing-up and covering their corporate butt. They probably will work 'straight through' to accommodate NOT with new assays, to lessen the probability of a legal suit and mitigate the damage to SGS reputation.

You're right. they are a huge company. I wonder if the damage to their reputation would be limited to the minerals division alone? The less noise NOT makes over this the less damage to SGS.........regards.....sambone
