You should go back and read the announcement of AZS picking up this project and consider who drilled the RC holes, and also then consider the nickel tenor of the system, and reconsider what the vendor had hit prior to flipping the project into AZS.
You have demonstrated what little you know of nickel geology, claiming that there was no knowledge of the mineralisation characteristics by Creasy, and have somehow considered that Mr Rovira is this wunderkind who discovered Jubilee, etc etc, and hence this is a Rovira vehicle and the mystique and whiff of success elsewhwre attaches thereto. Just because you repeatedly assert something doesn't make it true, but it certainly shows you for a fanboy.
Your superficial knowledge of geology matches your level of understanding about the Pilbara weather and is obviously double your knowledge of heritage access clearance requirements. You state, in what I can assure other readers is a preposterously wrong fashion, that there's no heritage sites and therefore no heritage survey is required. Mate, you couldn't be further from the truth. The T.O.'s don't go out on their own bat and identify every single archaeological site in Autralia and dilligently note it down in an online GIS database so us desk jockeys can just google it up and declare that because nothing is known to exist, ergo nothing does exist, because a computer says so.
Finally, investors in any mineral exploration company in the Pilbara need to understand a few facts, universal to all.
Firstly, all drillers and companies are bound by OH&S laws. A foreseeable hazard, such as a cyclone, requires measures to be taken to keep contractors safe. Just sitting around in Melbourne, Sydney or Caloundra and saying "it's not that hot, its just a bit of rain" kind of misses the point; work has to stop, drilling is delayed, and whole weeks and months can be written off because...it's the Pilbara. Saying otherwise is really, truly exposing the ignorance of the poster who says it, and says it repeatedly.
Fact is, $37M is a lot of expectation lumped on the company to keep drilling, no matter what, to keep feeding the bubble of expectation. Expectations of progress between December and March need to be realistic. Just because you think the drilling will keep going, it won't.
Secondly, the summer months are law business. Getting a heritage survey team of indigenous owner representatives isn't as easy as just phoning up a plumber. You're not likely to get them to come out and clear your lines so you can put in some pads to keep drilling when you want. Some indigenous land councils flatly refuse to even take work in this time. So, again, tempering your expectations of a continuous drill out between now and March might be a good thing.
Or, you know, write a few more fluffy pieces telling us how much you love Rovira and Creasy and explain, with diagrams, why the last 4 holes have been drilled within 2 metres of one another, and show us on the map why this means the company isn't drilling the 1km long conductor because it definitely, absolutely, has new pads cleared, it's just some cunning strategy to fan holes off the same pad because magic.
