The initial message from Morag Halloran pretty much confirmed it to be fake:The remaining question to be answered is: was this tale of irradiated ores genuine, which might lead to some technological breakthrough, or was the whole story only made up by Salvation to distract from the other CG, with no truth behind it at all?
Taurus Mining Ventures is currently running a much-publicised mining initiative in the Synuefe CE-R c21-6 system. In truth, we require you to transport as many Guardian relics as possible to the Musashi megaship in the HIP 39768 system.
I'm sure people will nitpick and say it doesn't outright say the mining CG was fake, but come on; the Galnet articles made a point to say the presence of radiation could not be confirmed by third parties and the use of "In truth" implies that the preceding statement is false/deceitful. The most obvious explanation is usually the answer.
