It would appear to me that many posting here really don't know how drilling is conducted from planning to setting up the drill. We saw the video of the convoy around a week ago.
My bet is they are currently clearing the area/setting up the rigs for each of the drill holes etc etc and the drill probably won't turn the soil up to one to two weeks from when rigs hit the site given the number of rigs employed and the planning layout and site prep and the scale of the drilling activities planned here. Anyway, it is not just a case of the rigs rolling up in a convoy, then falling of the back of the truck and hey presto two minutes later drilling starts. Some site preparation and site stabilisation for the rig required (and some of the stuff on site preparation cannot occur until the actual rigs role up particularly around positioning and stabilising the rig). Anyway, just read section 4.2 of this link if really interested on how a DD works and specifically Section 4.2.3 to understand what I have just said. All IMO
