REPORT DELIVERY OPTIONS:

• One copy of our written report is automatically mailed to the postal address provided with the order. In addition to postal mailing, another copy is sent by e-mail, and the following options are available:
  
  
• E-Mail Report. A valid e-mail address is required for an e-mail report and is recommended for all international orders.
  Email option requires a legible, working e-mail address or report delivery will default to postal delivery.
  
  If you did not receive your e-mailed report, email us and we will send another copy to the address you originally provided. Also, be sure our e-mail report gets through by adding our e-mail address to your whitelist or spam filter as a recognized sender. Some free e-mail providers have very low size limits on file attachments so verify that our report is not blocked by your e-mail service provider.
  
  
• Fax Report - Include fax number and add $6.00 per package of samples for report by fax to lower 48 U.S. states; fax not available for international orders.

• Rush Order: All orders consisting of sample, instructions and payment, begin processing immediately on delivery and are completed as promptly as the analytical process allows so that a special rush order charge is not required.

SAMPLE STORAGE:
Clients typically submit only a portion of sample for testing and retain the remaining sample material for reference or future testing. Sample pulp storage: 6 weeks. Rejects and excess material may be discarded during sample preparation. Samples received without instructions or payment are stored for 6 weeks. Mineral pulp (powder) may absorb atmospheric moisture, changing weight ratios of elements to matrix or initiate chemical reaction in pulp which makes prolonged storage of pulp inadvisable.

SAMPLE PULP RETURN:
Pulp return is not available. Before sending samples, retain a portion of each sample as a reference or library sample. Mineral pulps may absorb atmospheric moisture over time.

DISCLAIMER:
All of the data and references presented in our single party analytical reports have been derived from reference minerals and calibration sources generally considered reliable. We occasionally may, in our sole discretion, do additional tests at no extra cost. Our analytical services are intended for mineral prospecting and geological exploration work but not for FDA or EPA use, and not to induce investment or expense.

Reed Laboratories does not endorse any other business or organization or any process, property, claims, or technology they may have. Prospective Investors should retain independent consultants to obtain multiple samples for assay, review engineering and cost reports, review public records to verify mineral ownership, and have all transactional documents reviewed by a mining attorney before deciding whether to invest in a private unlisted offering.

No express or implied warranty is made as to the viability of any project or the safety of investment. Assayer assumes no liability in accepting samples for assay. It is the responsibility of report user to determine the suitability of report data or analytical procedure. All tests are destructive and are not appropriate for identifying gems, meteorites, or other objects of high intrinsic value. In placing an order, it is understood and agreed that the entire liability of the assayer shall be conclusively presumed to be waived by all data recipients unless state law precludes waiver and only then liability shall be limited to twenty dollars per sample, regardless of circumstance.
