Dean would be going like a cut cat getting Steve's Reward discovery drilling and SoM organised.
That's his job.... getting the gold out of the ground and discovering.... not reporting every day or so on the ins and outs.
Most should know by now the labs are going flat chat assaying gold and as you say he was very pleased with what he saw.... but gold being gold.... you have to wait for lab results.
There will be no more CR's as fully funded till mining income starts.... that also includes the drilling programs on leases and any discovery drilling.
DRE are in a very good financial position atm and that will get better and better as time goes by.
This is the pointy end of the stick for DRE and some are showing the 'stress'.
Exploration is an exciting game for those who like the odds of a win... a nightmare for others.... farm animal haters and the like.
Here's one for the farm animal haters and doubters.... what if the mining leases produced ~ $200M profit for DRE.... it's possible.... that's why you put your dough into something like this.... how transformative would that be.
It must be realised that this potential income does not need new mining applications.... all those years of compliance and approvals.... we just need to 'tick the boxes'.
A $200M cashed up DRE would have soooo many options.... I live in hope.
