I reckon all bets are off if they have a discovery. It's clear the market is struggling to believe in it and many heads will be wobbling if we get that. Its worth more than 20p IMHO but it might take a while for the market to wake up to that.
However, they cannot use the 'discovery' word without the independent lab results so I wonder how they will word the next RNS. I suppose they can specifically state the on site lab results in qualitative and quantitative terms and that would be enough.
Worse case is ambiguity. An RNS that says they are not sure and need to do more. Not sure how the market processes that. It seems fairly likely they may want to drill deeper on Tai3.
As with all of these opportunities the reality usually has some shades of grey. The absolute best case is some science that unambiguously points to a discovery that just needs lab verification. I think bids will follow. It's not like oil or other gas where there is a choice of fields and locations. Demand is huge and supply is limited.
