the longer this stays in a mexican stand off (ie radio silence), imo, the more likely they know something positive.

give or take drill speed, maybe they've slowed down, but maybe they are still averaging ~60m p/day... lets extrapolate that as bomber and bronco says, they would be in the zone to know something for sure.

them failing to at least PXRF some core as it comes to surface doesn't pass the sniff test to me, given whats at stake here... they would know for sure what they do or dont have by now.

hence for me, no news is good news. also not expecting any reason for them to announce anything this week now, even with good news. they'll take the extra couple of days to do further testing and polish an appropriate announcement for monday - in time for tuesdays meet
