Dons words on Friday were " when we intersect visible gold we will halt the stock right away so it is fair for everyone to find out at the same time because this would impact the share price instantly". If this doesn't answer your question than I would suggest making a phone call to VCR to ask it again. After waiting this stock out for 2 years I wouldn't be caught dead not having enough shares before the first real gold intersection is announced because it might be very costly buying in after the fact.
