Yep it's time for news. Always comes later than we count on AND the fact that Noront is playing the part of a solid careful established explorer does slow the flow of information.

Noront is so squeeky clean when it comes to ensuring accuracy that it comes as a surprise to anyone used to junior exploration plays. When they hand out the release you can be assured it is totally above board and correct.

Consider who Noront is most likely in discussions with and it becomes pretty clear why things are being done the way they are. I for one hesitate to thow stones as we all suspect the reasons for delays are all going to be for our eventual benefit.
