Latest press release from NOT shows that they cannot see and haven't been showing their goods quite yet (unclear as to what the deposit will look like; straight down, side to side, down and sideways, who knows) and I'm guessing that is the difference between it and the next Kodiak release.  Difference here is that Kodiak can see from surface what they have and simply need to poke holes knowing where it is.

Kodiak's geology would certainly seem to have a signature that is difficult to misinterpret and anyone that is competent in geology must already pretty much know what they have at this point.
