any announcement re drilling, page-10

If they have got an active drilling crew and geo's - and depending on how deep they are going would expect 2-4 weeks from mobilization of crew and equipment to de-mobing and geo's identifying the gold + administration and JORC QA paperwork ect then official announcement.. But since trenching is done (the quickest exploration method) they are obviously going for longer strikes and longer strikes will take "longer" time.

They are drilling with a Indodrill 500 which is a surface driller that is being moved by a franner (small crane) I suspect. The only problem with drilling that RMX has is they are drilling on the side of hills basically, not like over here in Karratha where its nice and flat for drilling. They would also have to remove shrubbery and trees in the locations they wan't drilled, create a stable foundation for the drill to operate (they vibrate a decent amount), and have VOC'ed/competent operators using the rig, and when drilling you dont just pull the core out and hand it over to the geo straight away, the cores get loaded into labled boxes, like "A32" for hole "A" and drill rod or distance drilled "32". Then you have the logistics that you need to come with that like a safe location to store the cores, if there is bad weather you will need shelter ect.

As we know with life if anything in the chain of mobe to announcement goes wrong, then its going to blow out the time.
