Due to continued comments on speculation of the early 2012 drilling halt, could another thought be that an extensive and thorough program would've resulted in the need to update the resource estimate; thereby realizing a further timeline extension of the BFS release?

My apologies if this point has already been raised, but with so many posts, if a person misses several days on this board, it can be challenging to fully comprehend all the information in catch-up mode.

Personally, I'd prefer to see an increased RE , but am also aware that negotiations would factor results subsequent to CUU's last RE and consideration to future potential.

cheers, and good to see SirMoz contribute again.
