Thanks, Marcos, In the absence of news, paranoia and conspiracy theories find fertile ground. The truth is that there are so many variables in exploration that the best one can do is set a hoped for schedule and then be flexible. The weather is always a problem. Walt's posts make that clear. Everything from fog to white outs to ice roads to temperatures that freeze the water lines. There also are a large number of groups involved in any exploration process. Truckers, helicopter companies, suppliers of equipment and food, crew. Once the ore it out, the labs have their own schedules with problems of storage and processing. You get in line and wait your turn. Add in the need for security. (See the article in the G&M today on security at DMM). I, too, have heard that there will be land based drilling and since, I assume, our sources are different, the rumour is likely true. If they helicopter materials and crew in that means they can start much earlier than if they have to wait for 7 feet of ice. They'll have to balance expense against advantage.
