Even though the Washington "players" say a deal has been reached I believe that after all the shananigans that have gone on everyone is taking the "wait till the last vote has been cast and the tallies counted" before there is any real confidence in the outcome.

So far as our "delayed results" are concerned I suspect there are numerous factors involved not the least of which is the optics of having the price retreat to the level that options were provided and then have some calendar separation between that date and any announcement that might have a positive impact on price.

Surely we have now reached that point and it may well be time for a pro-active company move to provide "updating information" relative to any widely unknown factor for the delay of release for what now must be 1000's of meters of drilling results.

At least all of these issues have restarted participation in this board. For a while we were all in "full snooze" mode.
