I can understand the frustration, however I feel that with the logistics and personell required to interpret data from this project delay's are inevitable.

If I'm reading correctly, there were 560 soil samples to analyse! Whilst I don't know how long it takes to analyse this amount of samples, I would suggest that it would take a fair while and the Newcrest specialists may not be as readily available as we hope. They also advised area's could require more detailed follow up sampling which could be taking place.

Hopefully this is now completed and rather than an announcement with the Geophysical survery outcome, they interpret all the data obtained throughout stage 1 and provide us the plan for stage 2 including drilling targets.
