Elmer dodged the $ question regarding where the company was at with financials on the webcast. They very well could be drilling right now, and Teck will get the bill as CG says, or Ernesto could be loaning money (like in the past, which was settled up later with more shares). A few options here ...

I'll be a lot more suspicious in another week or two if there is no news about the drilling. Why couldn't they drill ES and GK from last years aerialmags?
