'So any of them being studied right now? So cutbacks, pre-feasibility studies going on, on that kind of stuff? I understand you've got to drill Havieron for probably a couple of years before you can commit to something. By then, your reserve base will be exhausted. So what's underway right now other than drilling?'

This transcript is only 3 months old. Newcrest have already committed to mining but the reference 'your reserve base will be exhausted' ( I assume this related to Telfer) does reveal the urgency and a certain degree of desperation to bring Havieron into production as quickly as is technically possible.

Interesting that Daniel Morgan (UBS Investment Bank, Research Division - Director and Analyst) from UBS was a participant at this conference call. I am assuming he's responsible for statement Tweeted by Primorous regarding the value from Havieron not being 'priced in'.
