I'm hoping that some of the $75,000 loan from Pete is going right to the company doing assays, which I would assume would fall under the "on-going exploratory work" just as drilling and channeling do.

This is just sort of a wondering aloud thought, but it occurred to me that the drill sites might require 24-hour security, maybe explaining the lights in at least one recent photo. With expensive equipment on-site, but also so no one could do something like go in and mess with the channeling. I do know it would take quite an effort to get to the drill sites, but they probably can't be too careful. And now back to waiting and watching.
