If they are really serious about using GOLD to generate income, ( since gold can be transported out QUICKLY ) they should be giving more detailed plans on start dates etc, NOT telling us they are going to look for other potential sites. Gold cycles are extremely volatile, and you need to move fast to take advantage.Also, they have had substantial time to find partners for the gold Digs, but still have not let us know how that is progressing. 
This appears to be a stall piece to keep us happy leading into the AGM.
