To be fair, it's quite an unusual situation that they haven't shared any key points at all about their revised resource estimates following the EWT, when the market knows they've completed a detailed feasibility study. Normally, exploration companies are quite quick to announce resource headlines, at least when they've been upgraded (as HE1 did immediately after testing Tai in 2023). But nothing has been said about revised reserve estimates at Itumbula for three years (since before any drilling). The only hint in RNS/interviews is that it's complex to integrate data from a geologically unique system into standard O&G models, so the market has been left to decide whether to believe they kept the results back because they were disappointing or because they're being prudent about independently verifying something big, or because of some kind of commercial sensitivity. All the wild speculation and argument on this board shows precisely why that's been controversial and open to speculation, and probably why the SP hasn't moved. It'll all come out in due course anyway.
