Adrian O'Brien explained that the disconnect between Midnight Sun Mining's positive geological results and its recent share price performance is due to severe multi-month delays at assay laboratories. O'Brien noted that labs worldwide are overwhelmed in the current mining bull market, leaving the company waiting on thousands of backlogged samples.
“In the case of stuff we've dealt with, 14, 15, 16 weeks delay. When you're at the far end of that, you're dealing with delays that are multiple months. It has a huge impact on your market, as we've seen with Midnight Sun.”
