During the latest review of past drilling, one historic 2015 hole (FPRC022) at Forrest that had only been
assayed for gold was recognised as having potential for copper; the pulps of samples from this hole
were subsequently re-submitted for a multi-element analysis (including copper). An intercept of 9m
at 5.8% Cu (from 76m down-hole) was reported."

Do they keep samples from 3 years ago in the attic and later have another look at them?

Either way that's a lot of Copper.
Yes, actually, they do. And yes, literally in an attic (some derelict shed on site, no doubt).

When you send the samples to the lab, they weight about 3-4kg. The lab crushes and grinds them to a pulp, and uses 1g to assay the sample. 50-150g is then put back into a paper sachet, and put in a cardboard box, and returned to the company. Responsible and reputable companies will store their pulps indefinitely, in dry leak-proof sheds or sea containers, precisely so that they can go back to the pulps 3 years later and 'discover' 9m @ 5.8% copper in something they drilled.

The real question, knowing that the whole effort at Forrest and Wodger kicked off in 2014 looking for copper, found copper in old AC and RC chip spoils left on surface, that RNI/AUR has a pXRF, that they were allegedly assaying everything for copper (or at least zapping it with the pXRF gun), and...well, you can see where I'm going with this. How the hell did this interval slip through the cracks?

I mean...it's a great teaser. Pity they didn't put the interval on section and into context, but nevertheless.

Also, good to see them admitting the copper is more associated with veining, which was obvious to me from the photos they put out. Will be interesting to see how they go with these drill holes.

After years of looking for Copper where others only looked for gold? Now here's a chunk that we only just discovered recently?

Or best admit it now before it looks too suspicious at a later date? Time will tell.
