RE:Expectations for 2023 I tend to disagree with some of what you mention. A buyer doesn't care about the current price of gold, they are only concerned with the future price of gold. The process of getting the asset out of the ground is a 10+ year process, therefore todays price means nothing to a potential buyer.
However, I do agree with you that DRA is playing a significant role in determining the cost to extract the asset from the ground. A cost that potential buyers haven't agreed with Laurions initial estimates and I suspect DRA is that 3rd party to confirm these estimates.
I follow Roger's fb fairly close and seeing comments like "2023 will be Cynthia's 'Swan Song' and her legacy" doesn't make me think there will be a significant drilling program.
