"But will he be asked?"

I can't imagine that he would not, but I suggest you take your concern to BG.

Let me add that with ten or more holes (as has been planned); there is less likelihood of not finding economic grades of mineralization than the one, two, or three holes that some here were urging in recent weeks.  Meanwhile, one of the three PRs at the end of last month advised that this does not matter for now anyway - the price of copper is too low.  I don't agree that it is, but I am not running the company.
