"The reason why they took so long with the IP results was the shear volume of IP targets exposed"

I think you're onto something here Mogga.

1. The IP testing took quite a bit longer than a lot of us were expecting. We were getting frustrated, and then when the IP report came out we understood why - because of the unexpectedly high volume if targets exposed !

2. Then the drilling of NAD901 went on for longer than some of us were expecting. And as it turned out, rather than drilling the planned 400m, they had gone to over 760m - a pretty good reason to take extra time !!

3. And now there's frustration at how long it's taking to get the assay results. I wonder if that could possibly be due to the total length of cores sent away for testing and the time taken to prepare them etc.

Going by the first two events I think it's a pretty good guess that there's a very good reason for the extended timeline.

Mike and the team seem to be pretty well on target up to now so I, for one, am happy to chill and wait for it all to happen in a timely manner.

Yes, it can be a bit frustrating, but I think it's all for the best
