"For some reason I don’t expect a NR until the end of next week. If RN is to be back in the office from his trip then he might head up north to see how the drill program is going and see some of the cores for him self before any news is released. We will see."

This could well be the case though it is not necessary for R.N. to see the cores, given a report from his geo would be quite sufficient, particularly in light of their past experiences.  I would imagine that, if news is coming out this week though, it will likely be later than sooner...... simply because I(we) want it now!  With NOT, how often have things fallen as anticipated.  There is very little about this play that was correctly anticipated right from the first hole, particularly where timing is concerned.  Now,  make me a liar.
