Tgr, the normal course of events for a drill programme is that results are released in batches. That is why El Pantano was expected in Q1, the December RNS showed the drill core with visible silver. Drills are now turning at Pepas North and APTA so that is three streams of exploration results incoming, plus new aeromag and El Cedro drill prep, plus the PTO paperwork stream to move Pepas toward production. All listed in the recent 43-101. Only El Pantano expected in Q1, not because the company promised it, because it seemed reasonable given drill core was included in the December RNS. It is disappointing but once again, it feels like this point has been beaten to death, the goal was to look for structures that would help them prove the geological estimate, and pinpoint the motherlode within a very large area (20km I believe offhand). Perhaps it was best not to release a complex geological model in the horrible market we have had in Q1, not just for OMI, many juniors took a 50% hit due to the macro environment.
The question is have they found enough at El Pantano that the "substantial minerialisation" can be pinpointed in respect of high grade (economical deposit) precious metals? It is this assessment that must surely be documented and released in the very near future.
So not "assumptions with no rationale" at all, the projected newsflow is based on what the company is doing at present.
