I'd argue most of the frustration stems from what management says. Best strategy imo is taking any of it with a pinch of salt, these questions have been ongoing for months and we just don't know how long it will take for them to be satisfied.Just need to assume that the ML is a given at some stage or we're rooted anyway.
Asside from this the early works will help to keep us from falling too far behind, further drilling will be a bonus and the talk of AVZ looking for more tenements would be a good focus. I can see why they'd try to hold off from any further operational update until they can add the technical approval. After so many months of this it's the other things the update might contain that become interesting and a guage of further progress despite the hickup. Imo.
