Ann: Drilling Update at Salar West, Chile, page-132

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but...

If you are digging a 200m hole, would you give:
a) one update at the end, once 200m depth has been reached
b) one update every say 100 meters (half way then finished or something similar that makes more sense)
OR
c) an ‘update’ at 147m???? Hmmm. It’s not like it’s a weekly update, just a very random 147m.

If there is nothing at 147m and you are still drilling (haven’t given up) then wouldn’t you keep digging till the end before updating the market that you found nothing ‘so far’? At 147m?

Or if given up completely at 147m mark then wouldn’t the update say: ‘we tried, there is nothing here so we are aborting the drill campaign’. It didn’t exactly say that so...

‘Why’ this announcement and why now is the biggest question on everyone’s mind
