Thanks for the large font.
The Sentinel images implied that Artemis had done something back at (or very close to) the most easterly of the three Apollo holes when they returned a few weeks ago. Without the radar image it is if course very hard to say definitely if they did or didn't drill. They may just have cleared some scrub or tidied up some debris.
AC may be a wee bit "down" because he bought shares at about 2.2p, did his interview with BottleR and the price has slumped further, debatable if it is down to general gold exploration market malaise or specific to what they are doing and reporting.
Also he may have already seen field reports from the location of the drill that broke last season that they returned to complete, plus the additional first results from the new hole closer to the fault line. They do have the XRF gadget in hand. Coupled with GGP finding Zipa 1 & 2 were dud for gold seekers, however great they were for geologists seeking potentially good gold bearing rocks, AC might have the dawning realisation that he's gonna have to craft another upbeat RNS with promise of jam tomorrow so he can get more money for drilling.
His other remaining undrilled targets to the north (Juno? Voyager?) were going to be increasingly difficult to get a drill rig to because of those pesky sand dunes. And the Enterprise Series targets (pun intended) to the south are perhaps not the highest priority / dead cert after all, as I suspect the underlying fault lines, geology and cover depth make them even higher risk to drill. It always struck me as curious that over the now probably three or four years of seeing far flung activity on the radar and daylight images there was never anything further south of HAV than the first dune other than a lot of sterilisation drilling for choosing where to put the decline.
If GGP didn't go there why should Artemis take that risk? I think AC has better fish to fry with their other more accessible tenements in Western Oz.
Read on, the next poster will cover it all better....
