Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Underground access reduces exploration risk and could accelerate drilling and resource growth, possibly prompting a near-term re-rating. As a micro-cap explorer, SBMT's price will hinge on subsequent drill results and any resource updates; history shows infrastructure milestones can trigger 5–20% moves, but depend on follow-through.
