@cornhuskergold - you and I see it mostly the same way, although I don’t put as much weight on this next update.
This is a thin crew with minimal resources. It is being privately funded, at risk, with one goal - hit the DL with the idea of making this bankable for all involved. Yes, they are discovering a lot of other opportunities along the way. However, with the current crew and equipment they cannot do both at the same time, i.e., mine 15-20gpt AU to make a small amount of money and drive through to the DL and cross into the promised land.
Management has made the strategic decision to drive forward to the DL vein where there are known grades, depth, and width. The belief is immediate cashflow from that can pay back the private funder relatively quickly. Also, there will be cash flow to scale the operation and choose the best targets that have been hit along the way, perhaps start a drill program at LDM, or any number of other opportunities.
By the way, that is what I mean by hitting the DL being a binary event. Once hit, it’s a new world for all of us. Also, I suggest that hitting it is not as illusive as some think. They are going straight towards it. They will hit it.
