Anticipated is a wide word and could mean anything. It could mean they don't have their own drill so they hope NOT will lend them one of theirs.
But, before we talk drilling, they still have a lot of work to do, no?
From the news release:
A linecutting programme projected to involve in excess of 132 line km has been initiated over a number of Priority 1 Geophysical Targets. This will be followed by a number of Ground Geophysical Surveys including HLEM - Max-Min, Ground Magnetics & VLF and Gravity Surveys to better refine the Airborne Geophysical Targets.
Diamond drilling with one of the two recently acquired drill rigs by Noront would be anticipated to follow.
