A couple of things, as Shares says, we all knew a cash raise was going to be needed in and around the time of the drill.
It was expected to be this year and the few months delay into 2023 has stretched the funds further to where we are now. As for raising the money potentially earlier, how exactly is that different now?
From June the SP has been around 8p and even after the failed discovery it has been 11p and below, so we, imo, have never had the opportunity to use a strong SP to raise funds sooner. So waiting has not made any material difference as far as I can see.
So events have not been helpful to this exploration. How much of this can be laid directly at DM's door I am not sure, but probably less than the stick he has taken here.
I would expect (but don't know), that there is enough money for the drill. There could be a small dilution (as happened earlier this year), just to get the drills over the line and then do a proper raise thereafter on a successful outcome.
It will be interesting to see how this presentation goes today. (Although having said that, these events tend to be much less informative than hoped for.)
