The interview was posted today. I would assume that they are making a new effort under profoundly different circumstances with new land acquired and SRK report availability.

Although they have not answered the question I'm thinking the full SRK report was not made available to anyone until recently.  I'm also thinking that the SRK report supports Briscoe's statements wrt peas in a pod similarity of Rosemont, et. al., and HM and vice versa - that would add a lot to the argument for risk-taking on initial drilling.

I would interpret a slow rise in share price as others thinking along the same lines.

If Briscoe can convince someone of the soundness of his data and analysis (as he has to SRK) then I think it really is a matter of when and with whom drilling begins.

It's easy to allow a slow pace to dampen one's optimism but the pace is not the prize.
