"Should funding become available, we will be able to begin core drilling by mid-January, 2016."
For my part, I will take this to mean, "we will begin drilling by mid-January," assuming no unforeseen complications. The challange for the company in the meantime is to get the share price up so as to minimize the dilution which may be required to pay for the drilling, but drilling will be done!
This is the way I see it. Looking for other thoughts here.
