Figure 43 Koulékoun gold assay repeats, Jan‐April <strong>2011</strong><br />

Independent witness samples (IWS) were taken every 20 original samples with 822 taken<br />

prior to October 2010. Figure 44 is a one‐to‐one plot of the original and independent witness<br />

samples. There is a strong bias towards the original samples compared to the IWS samples<br />

particularly above 1ppm gold. CSA disagree with Scott‐Wilson’s comments regarding the<br />

relevance of second samples versus sample rejects or pulps and believes that this indicates a<br />

potential issue with one of the laboratories used for sample analysis.<br />

CSA recommend additional testwork including a review of the analytical methods used at<br />

the witness laboratory, the use of a third umpire laboratory and additional samples sourced<br />

from bulk reject material to ascertain the source of the bias.<br />
