Drilling should start on Monday/Tuesday next week
Indonesia has been basically shutdown this week for lebaran (Eid ul Fitr/Eid ul Adha). The celebration following the end of Ramadan is celebrated with friends and family and everyone visits (or tries to visit) his hometown.
I would therefore expect drilling to get started next week, with hopefully some of the pending assay reults and news on the JV projects. Intertek, the lab in Jakarta testing all of SA's assays has been open all week (the lab is next to the office i work in), so i dont expect the holiday to have delayed the results. The share price seems to be suffering from the lack of progress on the JV properties, uncertainty over the possibility of future drilling disruptions on Lombok and the general market conditions. I feel that the month of September will be crucial to the momentum of the share price. SA need to start delivering. Here's hoping.
