Ann: Australian Nickel Conference Presentation, page-27

Yes he is very confident? But took plenty of time to get started.
When they hit this massive find they need to explain properly what they have in core terms but what they most likely actually have.

What I mean is the core sample is very small in diameter, but the core sample will prove the DHEM findings accurate so they can then confidently estimate the scope of the find.

Do they then drill another hole to prove more, another area close by in the target zone.

Hopefully they then tell us plans and options going forward, set up a mine, a joint venture, will there be a takeover or other.

A massive find will open up options they didn't have before, pity the market wasn't better but the nickel will still be in the ground when the market improves.
