ljscott, good little discussion - I think you asked the right question here:
"will they even bother with the JORC and just drill for structure????? "
they will just drill for structure I'd say
a new or modified JORC document would only be required by the banks or other financiers, or as a promotional document to attract investors and it seems that MCO doesn't need to do it as the Chinese are very interested in what they see as it stands
