The news on SC is,as usual, puzzling. He makes it sound like the drilling and meta studies just started. A number of the posters on this board were told the studies would be completed by now. Drilling was supposed to have started last month. 

They can use the historical data for a resource estimate on EH but need to drill more holes; for which they have no money.

More money to be spent on the other projects. No one including management wants a pp but they can't fund these new steps with current reserves especially now that Lynne is probably getting a pay raise. Monetization seems very far away.
