Agree, they will drill at least one hole by year end imo. But dont count out trenching or test pits prior to drilling to get the market excited (or not), then a CR.... Trenching is not expensive and spod is an easy visual. Assays would follow.
They need to hit spod, as we saw what happens when it's mostly lepodolite (kanuka). Market still wary of it (L-MAX aside), and that last 4CE drill results were a good reminder that nearology to AVZ is no guarantee at all for massive spod.
But if they pull a drill core out like that first photo from AVZ...my lord it's going to multiple bag in days if not hours.
Will watch 4CEs kitotolo will interest as they know they have spod there from trenching, and it borders HIPO peg cluster closely. Having said that kanuka also borders, but much further away...so cross your fingers for spod.
AVZs scoping study due any day, and that's huge as transport concerns has held AVZ back (and probably region). If it's a positive SS, that should help HIPO. Still think it's a stupid name ...
DYOR!
