To be fair scott, the company were extremely unlucky with Tai. It was cursed from the get go with issue after issue, which was the cause of placing after placing.
At the end of the Tai well, the company couldnt prove definitively what was down there due to issues with basement level. This lead to a much lower He readout than perhaps what could have been if the wirelog were able to measure basement of Tai.
Confidence with the itumbula well after the lets face it, disasterous tai campaign was at an all time low. As such, in order to fund it, the company had nowhere else to turn but the sharks and that absolute disaterous wipeout of a placing. I do however believe the company had no alternative at this point.
This find certainly has changed the company's fortunes. They have now beyond any doubt confirmed He (along with other credits such as nobles) exists in commercial quantities. Placings such as that (should) never happen again as there will be far more options this time. It would be unforgivable, given what they have now found, to place at such a discount again.
Still a few jigsaw pieces missing here such as flowrates, resource estimates, timescales and roadmap to commercialisation, but given how desperate the planet is for the resource, you would think things should progress fast from here, much faster than say an oil or gas field would.
