It is interesting, as you say the BOD must be very confident of the mets being positive to keep drilling before get results. My point would be to get the mets done on the best samples and prove to the market they are viable before spending a lot more cash. It would boost the SP hugely before the next CR (which is coming soon) and or open up new sources of funding both private and public. (would also get the BODs free options after the rest of the qualifications are met)
If we leave the mets till last and they arent great SP and the BOD will be crucified
