RE: Lots of Drilling!10 Oct 2022 23:27
Hi Corby,
Not years, but months is normal in all mining. I'm sure everyone wishes it was as easy as you describe but the info from these drills, like all companies drills, go towards MRE info and ultimately assist in investment decisions on if to mine or not.
The outlay to mine results in tens of millions, sometimes even hundreds of millions needing to be sourced and spent on building the plant required to sell what comes out of the ground.
Now making those massive financial decisions isn't something which can be done on a whim or iffy info. There are hundreds of explorers out there all wanting someone to help finance them, yet far fewer with the resources to do so. Not everyone will get the finance they hoped for and so to stand half a chance, you need to do things right, which often takes time.
There are plenty of decent plots out there that never got funded. In fact those which didn't have formed part of our model, by allowing us to pick them up on the cheap.
Assay results can vary in time frame from company to company, with a lot of different factors at play, including lab location, backlog of lab work etc.
The results will come when they are ready.
