Excellent news! Finally. Questions: Any idea who put in the last bit of funding? Any results from their Bluegrass drilling started in July? They strike me as experienced old school underground miners with deep understanding of the local geology, but I question about their exploration capability (do they even have an exploration team?). It also bothers me a bit at this stage, they still use the same UG section map made from probably the 70’s or 80’s and paste some sketches on top. I would expect a 3D model at minimum. I have not seen any surface maps, surface samples, geophysics, or a 3D geologic model in any presentation or company website. This interview was the first time I hear him mention further exploration opportunity along the RV strike length, but still nothing concrete. If he could come up with a sound exploration plan, as investor, I would see it as a near-term producer play + exploration growth on tap i.e. not selling all my position after FP.
