He didn't go into it, said he might comment further later.

I'm guessing he might feel by continuing to explore you have the opportunity to make some bumper discovery on the property and really boost the reserves which will get people's attention and the share price will take off therefore making any further financing much less dilutative. It's a gamble but he knows the ground better than anyone so???

Also noticed from your EH article that he mentioned the 1000 explorers yield 1 mine stat but every 10 discoveries yields 1 mine so at least we are down to 10 to 1 odds at worst! Given we have a positive economics already on the mine and a PFS due then the odds must be even shorter now.
