RE:Focus On Exploration
To prove that this project is giant and comparable to Porgera / Cripple Creek it requires a large amount of money to explore. In Denver Quinton put the price tag to about $US15M (navilawa over 3 years) + $2USM (tuvatu now) for an estimated $CDN 23M. I believe that all along Wally knew (and advise by his technical team) that the system goes deep but going big was a gamble; hence he chose to take the safe route until Quinton came along.
