RE:3 to 4 months Well if you look at their August 2022 presentation slide 9 or 10, if memory serves, you'll see the seismic with the rock layers identified. They're probably just above the Maastrichtian. The lower Santonian is a couple of months away. Top hole is soft rock that is less compacted and drills fast. As they get deeper the rock is more compacted, gets harder and drills much slower. Below that thick Santonian you'll see the Coniacian "wedge" as they call it. I don't think that they'll drill into it as they did on Kawa.
I don't know their coring program but they may do some. Coring typically takes over a week from POH to pick up core barrel to RIH to ream the core section and drill new hole again. Pretty expensive in terms of rig time but I can see them maybe doing some. Getting sidewall cores is much quicker though. As far as news releases I don't expect much info outside of operational updates. Geological info will probably come much later after they TD the well.
So people can read what they want into sp movements. I've seen the sp go to over $3.50 CAD then drop to below a buck again. Weird.
