    Really important to understand the difference between the reserves and resources that OBM possesses. Your post seems to confuse the two. The reserve position is very small at only 220koz. Reportedly one of the reasons EGS fell over was that potential saviours were concerned about the reserve position.

    Of the current 1.8Moz resource approximately 700koz is inferred material (basically worthless). The other issue is that with the ore being dispersed over lots of deposits the capital costs for development of many of them may be uneconomic. The drilling campaign will undoubtedly bring in more reserves but it's going to be a hard slog. I'd be surprised if they could get the reserve over 500koz in 12 months.

    I wonder if an alternative and more progressive approach might be to toll-treat ore for others or to look at a merger with a junior with a more exploitable resource. GMD's Ulysses project is approximately 120km away and has close to 600koz in measured and indicated resources at good grade. They are likely to declare a reserve of ~500koz in the next 6 months. GMD's scoping study in late-2018 contemplated building a new 0.8Mtpa plant, but utilising Davyhurst might make more sense. Truck ore from Ulysses and supplement with ore from the more prospective deposits around Davyhurst to fill the 1.2Mtpa mill.

    A merger of this type is actually similar to the way EAR evolved in 2016 when they merged with MKO to gain control of the Bronzewing processing plant but with a plan to process Echo's better Julius deposit.
