Looking back to go forward16 Aug 2021 21:35
If you go back to the June RNS, DM stated this:
"We are very excited to have commenced exploration drilling, continuing the advancement of the world-class Rukwa project. The exploration programme is the culmination of five years of dedicated work with three holes testing three different styles of trap. Each well will take roughly one month to complete with lessons learnt from the first well applied to refine and de-risk drilling of subsequent wells."
Plan was always 3-4 drills with lessons learnt each time. One month per drill. First one has taken a month longer due to issues encountered, but still on course and plenty of time to keep going.
You can bet there will be an RNS before too long as they've always stated their exploration was to be aggressive. This was also supported at the last subscription.
They've been a bit unlucky so far, however, these guys know what they're doing and will know how to move things forward for best opportunity of success and value for shareholders.
