Rock i bloody hope not.
That would mean May June fly-over followed by two months of modelling, then mobilisation of drill rigs, more delays and on its drags all the while our investments flatline. I for one would love to know the proposed timeline for moving this project forward.
Surely there is enough potential already to warrant a geo survey? 11% chips and historical grades to 50% exposed along creek beds, etc. Given the scale of the land this is the most cost efficient way to accurately define the best drill targets. Spend the money now, (and i'd be bloody surprised if it was half as expensive as the ANN suggests) then use the wet season to model and plan the targets? Why wait, for what purpose?
Hope these chips samples turn up soon - reckon they should sack the test lab and find one that delivers on time.
