I'd suggest it'll be next year before they get any holes drilled; first they've said they're going to fly a detailed geophysics survey, then they'll have to interpret the results of the survey, then plan a drill program, then set up a new camp, then get their drill gear into position, then drill. Generally, allow 12 months from the survey to drill. Meanwhile the rona's ramping up and only fully vaccinated expats are allowed in country (not too many in Aussie at the mo') ... and as you mention there's the not inconsiderable matter of assay timing .. which needs the drill core samples sent out of the country..
