For a company not running one drill crew right now, I seriously doubt their ability to go from nothing to two drill crews operating in parallel in two different countries in such a short period.
This is why IMHO Treaty's buy and set up own drilling operation reduces their flexibility.
And I heard nothing about what happened with the drilling company sell off. Can anybody update me? Should make interesting reading in the 10-K.
Management should be smart enough to PR the latest possible dates it takes to accomplish a milestone. Anotherwards if I was sure I could get it done in 2 weeks; after considering all delay scenerios; then I would still add a week and tell the public 3 weeks to XYZ. Credibility is everything and they are starting to lose it with late 10K's, etc. Holding but frustrated!
Your timeframe is interesting. Personally , i think its overshot just a touch. And i agree, always play it safe when stating a time frame with so many possible reasons for a delay. Imho, will be sooner.
