cb, woudn't they want to see the assay results of phase 1 before follow up drilling?

That raises the question, "will they send core to the assay lab immediately each hole is finished, or wait until the whole 10,000m is complete. If the former, there could be core from the first few holes at the lab already.

Another thought: could the timing of phase 1 and 2 overlap if some assay results are available early and they indicate clearly where further drilling could be most beneficial?

In any event, I suspect that drilling in November and beyond would be weather dependent.

However this transpires, let's hope the assays are stellar. GLTA.
