You may call it a race if you wish - a race against diminishing momentum and ebbing confidence.

We have already seen what effect the effluxion of time without news has on the SP.

My understanding is that the weathering effect extends to only 30 - 40 metres at Julimar

Further, massive sulphides have already been discovered at Gonneville, which should remove a lot of uncertainty from the exercise.

I would imagine that by now the company has soil tested the entire intrusion and has plenty of drill targets lined up.

So to go back to the original thought bubble - what is more likely to bring a positive result in these particular circumstances 1 DD hole of 1000 metres or 10 RC reconnaissance holes of 100 metres.

NOTE I do not subscribe to your proposition that massive sulphides are more likely to be found at depth. I imagine they are like gold in that they are where you find them.
