The last assays were done by ALS Chemex, using the labs out in Vancouver, BC.  While I am sure the travel time may take a bit of time, I don't think that it will take 6-8 to do the assays.

Plastic pails were secured using tie locks and delivered via bonded carrier to ALS Chemex sample preparation laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario. All samples were then crushed and pulverized, then sample pulps were sent to ALS Chemex Laboratory in Vancouver B.C. for analysis, remaining coarse reject portion of the samples remain in storage at the ALS Chemex storage facility in Thunder Bay. In Vancouver, the samples underwent multi-element analysis using ALS Chemex assay procedure ME-MS61, when samples received over-limit values they underwent further analysis using ALS Chemex assay procedure Cu-OG62 (for copper) and Zn-OG62 (for zinc). For gold analysis, all samples underwent Au-ICP21 analysis.

From the sound of the ALS website, they are planning on doing all of their analysis out here in BC, being able to process up to 20,000 samples per month:

The Thunder Bay facility specializes in the preparation of geological materials utilizing methods ranging from standard preparation to sieving and metallic screen preparation. Boasting a modern array of equipment, this facility is capable of processing as many as 20,000 samples per month. Prepared samples are shipped from Sudbury to the North Vancouver laboratory for analysis.
