ASX ADDITIONAL QUERIES
Further to and in addition to the above, the Company provides responses to ASX’s additional queries, as follows:
5
. Please advise whether any samples of the exploration programme that the Company is currently undertaking have been sent to the laboratory? If yes, please provide the exact date on which the samples were sent to the laboratories.
Samples for the recent Junction drilling program were sent to the ALS laboratory in Adelaide on 12 of December 2024. SVY received a ‘sample receipt advice’ by email from the laboratory on the 18th of December. The assays for these samples remain outstanding.
6.
Please advise whether the Company is expecting any results from the laboratories in relation to its exploration programme and if yes, please advise when the results are expected to be provided to the Company. Please provide detailed information in relation to the timing of these results.
Assays are usually expected to be returned to SVY in 4 to 6 weeks. However, with the Christmas/ New Year period, it is not possible to provide a definitive timing on the expected receipt of these results as it depends on laboratory holiday period scheduling and the volume of samples at the laboratory from other companies, amongst other factors. The assay results will be announced on ASX as soon as possible after they have been received and collated and appropriate sections and plans have been drafted.
7.
Please advise when the sampling was completed and when the samples were sent to the laboratories.
Sampling of cut drill core was completed on the 11 December 2024, with the samples sent to the laboratory on 12 December 2024, and the laboratory receiving those samples on 18 December 2024.
8.
Please advise what arrangements (if any) the Company has in place to maintain confidentiality of its assay results? Please provide detailed information.
SVY has confidentiality protocols in place with the laboratory, and access to the laboratory’s secure sample website can only be externally accessed by SVY’s Technical Director. In this instance and in relation to the pending assay results, this service has not been accessed by SVY personnel. This means that even if there were preliminary assay results available, none of the Stavely Minerals personnel are aware of those results. Once SVY receives the final certified assay results from the laboratory, these results are stored on a secure SVY server with limited access for SVY personnel (including SVY’s external database manager), to ensure all data, including assay results, remain confidential.
