Ann: Exploration Program Commences at Hillalong South, page-3

Drill rigs would have been booked months ago for this exploration program. I assumed BCB was relying on Sumitomo $ to fund the drilling of Hillalong but looks like the company was prepared to fund it themselves, irrespective of the term sheet with the Japanese. The BOD must be very confident in what Hillalong will offer as my understanding was funds were being pushed towards getting Isaac River into production asap.
