Glib, why there is so much talk lately of "failure" at TAI-1? Why do folk here are so anxious lately? We had one pipe that broke suddenly people get nervous. And if there is no RNS on Monday...ooohh, aaahh, there is something wrong, perhaps?
As a simplified example, for anyone who never ever used a drill machine in their lives, you may not know this, but once you break a drill bit trying to make a hole in a concrete wall, the next attempt will be done at a slower pace, especially if the drill bit is of a narrow diameter; that is when you know you are dealing with a concrete wall. Now, what about when you don't know what your wall is made up of?
Those guys drilling at Tai-1 are drilling with a very narrow drill bit and the drilling structure stretches 1200 meters, so you figure; more over, although they have the seismic studies with them, drilling can always throw some surprises, so after the first issues we encountered we need to be gentle, so as the DM said, we are drilling and the RNS will land when the RNS will land.
I read some Tweets replies to yesterday tweet and seriously, I would be ashamed to tweet them; not that I tweet as I don't even have an account, but those tweets show the "I want it now (baby) attitude of some investors who shouldn't even be investing in an exploration company in the first place as they clearly haven't got a clue. They are the likes that cannot wait..the snow flake generation. We have a damn great CEO who this isn't his first drilling campaign and is doing a great job letting us aware of things in the field, but I wish sometimes he didn't tweet at all and we were like old school..you get the news when the news is ready vie a RNS.. stuff you, snow flakes. Sell you damn shares and go away. I am sure you can find another company with less "uncertainties" and whose CEO will post a tweet even when he goes to the loo.
