that is fair reply though as not many will reveal such intel as they think could be price sensitive - I personally think it is not and they should tell the person asking the question.
but the problem is Chris made an announcement where many would have interpreted as the rig is only around 5 days away from being deployed.
this is not his first time to make such statements either - he did similar thing when he made many of us to think they had access the ground where the last few high grade holes were drilled at the Calay Load and only to make everyone wait for another (if memory serves me right) ~ 4-6 months.

so if the drill is weeks or perhaps months away why saying something along the lines - as soon as drill can be mobilised? We are not in a period where waiting time for drill rigs is 3 months. I follow lot of explorers and small miners and no one is reporting problems with booking a drill rig.
