I don't see why revenues would be put on the back burner. How much can be involved in getting a batch of dore ready for shipment? Assays? But the in house assays should be quick, and the 3rd party assays don't require their time. I simply don't see a reason why they haven't already made at least one shipment. And it's not a matter of waiting for a better price- I'm sure the refiner would hold it for them until they decide to sell- and if they are concerned about security while they get the vault built then it would actually be better to have the metal at the refiner.

So why the delay?
