I am not surprised either. They are trying to understand the geology at the area. I talked to them after the hole TD-03 was drilled and 26m pegmatite was found. I asked why they were moving to the west to drill TD-04 but not keep drilling the area around the TD-03. Because TD-04 would be at the area there where there were not very good grab and sample results taken (slightly west of radiometric boundary which is marked as "West - Kaolinised albite dominant zone, see the map below), I knew there wouldn't be much chance to get good results.
However they said they needed to understand the geology first. Fair enough.
It is said on today's anns that there is different granites at the west and east;
"At the current state of drilling the Turesi Prospect, the relationships between the quartz muscovite granite drilled in TD 004 and TD 005 and the foliated hornblende granite hosting the pegmatites intersected in TD 001, TD 002 and TD 003 is not fully understood."
It is now obvious that there is fresh quartz-rich muscovite rich granite at the west (intersected by TD-04 and 05) and
foliated hornblende granite hosting the pegmatites at the east.
"This drill hole is sited to investigate the contact between the lithologies intersected in drill holes TD 004 and TD 005 and those intersected in drill holes TD 001 to TD 003."

Now they have moved the rig slightly to the east and drilling TD-06 (on drill pad THD-P09). This area was the end of trench 9 and and yes they have got good grab sample results at this area. The purple dots at the end of the trench show the good results of grab samples.

The company is drilling even the wet season is already started. This is very good as they have made all their preparations.
Another good point is that the pulps of the cores for TD-01 has been airfreighted to Perth for assays.
And samples from TD 002 and TD 003 are being prepared in Georgetown for airfreight to Perth very soon as we can see. TD-03 samples are the most important atm.
