Not sure if this has anything to do with our halt but according to GRZ's website a ruling came down Feb 3 denying VZ's request of documents containing proprietary information. Does this now tell VZ that they will never get this information unless they buy this information out if someone wants to mine? This ruling bodes well for KRY also if it comes to arbitration IMO.
