Agree with you on this Rabid.

Significant de-risking, and the EA is one of them, will bring value to CUU; and as noted earlier, it's a stated goal of CUU this year.

And perhaps some of the PP funds will go to advancing / preparing the drill program and metuallurgical testwork as identified in the FS.

I've got to believe ES will be / is working on this in preparation of securing a drill company; and in another program, planning on the securing of services to try and improve overall metal recoveries.

All costs dollars to plan and commit to contractors - who eventually pays for the actual work program? i would hope Teck via a buyout, but CUU must work towards Plan B, ES speaks of.
