The CR's that have occurred during Q1 have been to provide for any unforeseen costs and very importantly post well funding to ensure an ongoing business - not to pay for well costs.
At this time we have no indication of what those long lead costs will be and in any case $17.4M will not be enough to pay for Hickory-1. Will our rig and ice road contractors want to know that funds are in our bank prior to any agreements being signed?
Looking at past drills there is a pattern funds raised (or FO) for the well then notification that rig contract agreed.
If the Q1 raise was used to pay for the ice roads & well costs then I am unsure when or how we would get another CR away (dependent on results) to ensure the company remains funded. It's a risk.

The EGM is being used by the company to ratify recent to CR's to give room for another CR so there is almost certainly some planning ahead plus Ashley is over in London see below.
