i thought they did a few drilling campaigns, geophysics and heaps of soil samples in what is an untouched area in terms of modern exploration. i can confirm the last bit having worked and prospected in the area.
I'm not defending the results, i was expecting bonza hits and a golden Grove or maybe a small minjar pit as a minimum. they also did a timely investment in an established PNG gold mine, which should work out well.
the consulting company annoyed me as well, but my mates pointed out where else would they have gotten geos , equipment , 4WD...off another contractor??? with no guarantee.
so im given them the benefit of the doubt on that one, i know that we had to recently drive around site in the GMs prado as there are no vehicles available for hire, don't get me started on the quality of some of the mining guys these days.
i still believe in the project, it is early days, but understand that it maybe too early.
