is drilling continuing now?30 Aug 2021 15:24
Although DM was not clear about whether drilling is halted until after the rainy season the RNS is, I think:
"Drilling of the shallow traps will be cheaper than testing deep targets and could potentially be conducted using a light-weight water-rig, or similar rig capable of producing a stable hole, possibly opening the option to conduct drilling operations over the wet-season."
So (and by all means correct me if I have got the wrong end of the stick here), A water rig will drill a shallow bore hole, which (presumably) if successful in stability would allow "the option to conduct drilling operations over the wet-season."
Its a bit if, what and maybe, but he did say to ZAk that he wanted to move along quickly. Maybe they will be a few more developments in the next 6- 8 weeks after all? Still suitably vague of course, but this is an exploration company after all, so I guess some slack is fair.
(Again and just fwiw, i didn't think the interview said anything new or productive which although i have raised this before is. Always pretty much ignore the interviews. Its universally an opportunity to promote the company, which may or may not have any passing familiarity with what is actually going on within said company.) IMO, RNS's are always harder to wriggle away from.
