Cosmo i totally agree with you, but GR in Sept said the RUS would be close by and now in Dec said it is not part of their plans currently. I doubt PREM will be digging "blind" but to get a whole public update by launch of production seems unlikely now, but again, hopefully you are right. But i assume they have that info, so i bet they rather start production first and allow their findings to compliment a new resource definition and eventually a DFS later down the road.
You say you don't care what Suzhou wants but they are paying for all of this so they can get their spodumene, they are not paying PREM to get their resources updated yet. I assure you GR is dancing to their tune right now, precisely due to the strategy they chose to go for as you outlined. This is not a bad thing, it just is what it is based on corporate strategies.
Risks are still there and silence has not brought many positive developments in the past as steward1 said (anyone remembers LIBS and other wonderful projects that went silent like Lingonia Gold?)...market knows this and are waiting for PREM to prove if we actually have all that spodumene forecasted and promised to Suzhou. We'll only find out after the first batch has gone out.
In the mean time i expect an sp increase between now and actual start of production to at least .65. Also not panicking as I trust what Zulu and EPO contain, we just don't have official company confirmation of this yet.
