Ann: FY 2016 Annual Financial Report-DKO.AX, page-26

Try this:

>3Q 2016 = Jul - Sept 2016 this contrasts with 3Q FY2016 which is Jan - Mar 2016

> SO, 1H FY2017 refers to Jul - Dec 2016, while 2H FY 2017 is Jan - Jun 2017

In his annual address for FY2016, the chairman said: "Since the acquisition dates of both projects, exploration has been underway in both Australia and Portugal (after the close of the FY2016 reporting period). Accordingly, I look forward to reporting back to shareholders on what I am sure will be an exciting period of activity in FY2017 as Dakota Minerals announces a maiden mineral resource in WA in the first half of the financial year and continues exploration in Portugal."

In short, he is talking about releasing details of the maiden resource between July - December 2016, though in the 14 Sept announcement is was by end 3Q 2016.

So his deadline is either this Friday if you hold him to the 14 Sept announcement or year end if you give him a get out of jail free card to NY eve.

Ideally, it would be nice to see newsflow by Friday, if not before.
