I share your frustrations mate, we all know it doesn't take 5 months to get a single dd out.
My speculation is that the company is equally as frustrated as us. They arent diddily daddling, they are managing a big team and multiple drills and hitting gold so far in every hole. The delay in the DD just isn't their style, nor does it make sense that they are responsible for it.
They've said it would be out within the week, and now it's not. If it was up to them they would have delivered and been good on their word, I've no doubt someone external has let them down and they, like us would not be happy.
Fingers crossed Monday, fingers crossed it's the fault of the old lab and this is the end of all that.
