From the article, I particularly liked:-

Maher (VP) stated that Kodiak was sending about a thousand core samples a day to the lab for "fire assay". Any result yielding 3 grams per metric tonne (g/t) or better had been sent back for a more
rigorous "metallic assay". Drills had intersected values as deep as 575 metres. Major mining companies have expressed interest, but, Maher said, negotiations were confidential. Holding up his hands, Maher remarked: "We have almost two handfuls [of documents] signed."
