Hi
I think they will continue drill and increase resource as you have said.
I also agree that it looks likely that the loan is coming from Freepoint Metals.
Copper is just under $ US3.40 lb. If you worked on $ US4.50 lb, that would be approximately $AU 3,500 extra cash flow p/t. Multiply that by 85,000 tonnes, Close to $300 million.
You can see why they are holding back on mining, as the numbers are huge. They are in no rush. Wait a bit longer, and reap the rewards.
The demand for copper will increase, so will the price.
Cheers.
