No ;not completing the drilling at this time is not material as the drill is still there and there will be a completion of the program,but do to a little force majure called weather the program is now an extended one.You have to understand this is Mineral Exploration .We in this biz are not making widgets where we know we are doing 1000 an hour. When we drill I have people call all the time asking how far down are we which hole are we on.I just tell I don't know and when it's done we will let them know. I keep telling them the questions they are asking are insider questions and even if I knew I would not tell them.
I've had people say to me "oh I hear your doing 80 metres a day" I tell them that I doubt it and especially the deeper you go the slower it goes.Once some self promoters of my company told me we were down 400 meters already.I said I don't even know if the Drillers had started. 4 days later I was in Red Lake . Guess what the Drillers had got there the day before and because it was so dry they had tostring 5 km. of hose to the nearest water supply.They started the day after I got there.
So you see a lot of what David puts out is and has to be put out ie: the 5 Star ,but untill it is complete and all parties say it is with the final rubber stamp being the exchange is on he really can't say much more. It's called the U.S. Army Hurry up and WAIT.
Mineral Exploration is not for the faint of heart and especially not for IMPATIENT people,but neither is Bio,Medical,or any othe Exploration
