Next important news will be Apollo defining JORC by collating data from previous drilling by BRGM. Variscan have already done this on Merleac project.
Couflens area is snow covered during northern winter so my understanding is no drilling till next year.
As previously mentioned, Variscan management are confident Salau will be a mine. Variscan management have said that Middlemas gets to pick his projects from many offered/looked at.
Experienced management on project. Haven't spoken with Apollo management, however, Variscan management are accessible with regards to any questions.
I assume that you have read Variscan and Apollo announcements, gold and copper credits are increasing with depth and system remains open at depth. Also, other nearby targets.

Biggest problem is anti mine lobby in France, hopefully, there will be near term announcements by Variscan that more clarity has been provided here.

Sorry about the joke on other thread, lame attempt at humour.
