Anything is possible, but, just the fact that KXL has 5 drills turning and are expecting 3 more, should speak volumes to anyone watching.
Since drills are hard to find these days, and drillers have become even harder to acquire because of all the exploration happening in Canada, and elsewhere in the world, I think it would be foolish to think that they are spending copious amounts of money just to put on a show for the shareholders. Logic would dictate that they have found a significant ore body and are trying to prove it up.
As a reference you can use Detour Lake Mines which has 6 drills turning and have proven up massive amounts of gold, millions of ounces.
Just as an aside, why would any company want to release any news into a global downturn market that we are experiencing at this time when they understand that whatever news they give will probably not do anything major to their stock prices.
This is all spec on my part and just my opinion, based on some facts.
