[交流] "These" or "They"? Grammar expert pls come in~

In my manuscript, my supervisor changed "they" into "these":

In fact the phase compositions of laterite samples with both high and low nickel extractions are quite similar. TheyThese mainly contain goethite, quartz, and minor amounts of clay minerals.

Is this correct?

Thanks.

the word "these", as demonstrative pronoun, is more appropriate here
while "they" are nominative, could also be used here, but seems not so natural connecting the last sentence....
and in my view, the former is more consistent with the habits
may these could help you, and here I all use "these"
