As i said back then drilling will not commence until late Jan/ early Feb est.
When the rig is available It will take a week to set up and about 2 to 3 weeks to drill holes. It will take about 4 weeks to assay the results so the 7 to 8 weeks for a turnaround sounds about right.
Getting a drill rig out there isnt as simple as HC members have you believe. Permits are needed to travel. Drill companies are obligated to finish drilling other tenements first. etc etc
I flew over this region earlier this year and it was a hive of activity. Commerical Airlines fly at much lower altitude in south america. So my guess we have to wait for a drilling company to get us. Better to wait for a good driller than get a half arsed one that will cost you$$$
