While I have a terrible record of guessing when assay results are likely to be reported (The laboratory situation is a disgrace) I'm way past my estimate as to when everything would be ready. What is it now 4 months waiting for last seasons drill cores? This seems excessive even to me when we're not talking about exotic metals but run of the mill stuff.

Hopefully those assays where 'off the chart good' and everything had to go back for reassay prior to release. That sounds like the best darn reason for the delay I can think of.
