It is always good to have a short term deadline to measure credibility, particularly of a new management team.
14 days from Oct 26 is November 9, so the company is saying that by that date, they will have authorization for the $20M LOC required for the financing and will recommence mobilization of the drilling rig by that date.
The company also states that drilling is expected by end of November -- a delay but not hugely so from the mid-November in the early September PR.
The market cap has gone up about $1M since the announcement of progress toward the $3.3B oil reserve (per Mr. Bendall; $5/bbl 600K+ barrels), indicating that a healthy level of skepticism about these dates and financing remains in the market.
