great post Jarg but I think they have had an exploration manager for a while see their announcement relating to this. As for conserving funds I think the Middlemas blueprint is to always have a cornerstone investor first and then proceed full bore with expanding the company. Looks like they are drilling but it must be slow or they would have had to release results.
In company announcements they refer to a potential large scale gold project several times in yemen, I say that Ian Middlemas WOULD NOT have exercised the option on the project if he felt there was a chance of failure not his style. There many other projects around to look at but if you persist here it means there is something special.

Never underestimate the quality of the management within WCP and they will make Yemen sing. When this occurs is an unknown factor but it will happen and with gold going our way currently it looks even better.
