The drilling of the safety chamber and drill station arn't that big of a deal. A good drilling crew could have it drilled, blasted and mucked in a week, maybe 2 max.

The amount of rock bolting is the time consuming job. They have done quite bit and are likely only required to cover the access and work areas, but how much remains is the BIG question. Rumour mill from multiple sources say as early as thanksgiving for the drill program to start, which really would be something to be thankfull for. It's been a looong 5 years for me. The mill eventually will prove it's worth, but has been an expensive sideshow in my opinion. It's always been about the mtn and proving up those rich veins.

Low grade deposits these days arn't getting a lot of attention, it's the high grade resources that demand a hefty premium and lots of companies are looking. We will soon find out!
