Read somewhere, maybe Resource Speculator that major nickel finds in this part of the world are taking from 2-4 years for discovery. Easy to understand going by some other junior explorers experience over there.
Such as SEG who at the start of the year were trumpeting 12 high priority targets and they are still defining them. Or BUX who rushed in and hit it big early only to fail on subsequent holes. Tough break.
Really hard stuff to find nickel so glad we've got some of the best geos on board. This core team has been on the hunt for around 2 years so I reckon their groundwork is now well advanced to strike soon. And get the oppies over the line in 8 months.
