Wonderful information! I interpret this as affirmation that the cores have been pulled, and that Neil was not able to disprove the possibility they originated from the same feeder system as DE1. Dr. Mungall has an exclusivity agreement of sorts with Noront, so an official reporting on his behalf would likely have to explore continuity of the system over length through Noront and to SPQ/FWR/KWG property(amongst other things).
