Hi Brulenorth!

I exchanged emails with Trevor Bremner about a month ago while I was researching my article, and here is his comment regarding the status of the drilling:

"A large amount of drilling will be needed to establish a resource, and Kodiak has commissioned three additional drill rigs to speed up the work. One drill is already active, a second drill rig has been ordered and is expected on site before the end of the year, and the third will arrive early in the new year." - ENDQUOTE

I am sure the drills will shut down over Xmas, but I do not think we have to wait until February for drilling.  Perhaps the info you were told is when the additional drills will be deployed.  I would recommend people email the company directly to find out however, as the situation may have changed since the info above was relayed to me.

cheers!
