I know you said it's slow, but it's not. In fact, just the opposite... It's blistering fast. Way too many unknowns and you're working on other peoples time.  There are lawyers involved, land owners, mineral rights owners (last 2 could be multiple entities), surveys, water board,permit, operator, TRRC, dig test, location to build, road to build to location. Each step can have a delay of as little as a day, or ?........

Usually there are teams of company people working on said projects. We have very limited resources, but it's getting better.

And at any time someone in this list of processes/steps can develop an attitude for several reasons... You better be ready to pucker up and have a fist full of dollars...LMAO

Each drill has it's special requirements. Take for example the Kubacak lease. I'm having to truck in water to the pit. 50 to 100+ truckloads.

You have be on the ground here, a local, developing/fostering relationships everyday.

I hope you're starting to get an idea of just what goes into all of this.....

Mind you, the drill bit, has yet to spud...ROTFLMAO

You need to do months of homework before you even start this process, You have to have a clear idea of exactly where you want to drill....
