RE:Sitting in the dark.....A resource statement will not be issued until all of the drilling in an area is complete. If you look at the vertical pane in the last PR there are still lots of missing holes in the KMZ. You can blame the assay labs.
Eric is a silent partner in all of this. Colin and his team are running the show. Clearly Eric is content with the progress made to date.
The flow of results will continue long after drilling has ceased.
