I understand that recommendations are simply that.

the fact remains that kodiak PAID big bucks to have a 43-101 done and for some reason are straying from the recommendations in the report that THEY commissioned. ... (again I could be wrong but it appears this way)

So then, the question remains, what happened between the time the report was commissioned/completed and now that would make them change strategy.

Things that make you go hmmmm ...

just a thought, I may be completely out to lunch here ...
