The cyanide system is now less pressing only because they delayed so long in putting it in. If the mill had been running anywhere near optimally the last two years, it would have been generating much more than it cost to run. Instead, it has been a money hole using cash and shares to process ore that will have to be processed again to get the gold out of it. Because of the delay, getting the mill running efficiently (never mind the expansion) has been pushed back farther in the timeline than when the drilling assays should start showing up. If the mill had been running efficiently, they could now be reporting major revenue that would cover half their costs (not just the mill), and the share price would already be well on its way. Again, thanks, CQ.

With significant revenue delayed by two years and counting (not including Melba), we have to look at other events that will bolster the share price. 43-101? The initial version will be primarily historical, with maybe some newly discovered geological info. But it won't include any resource calculation, which will have to wait for drill results- and lots of drill results to define a resource of any size. What we have to hope for is results that are high enough grade combined with the known geology that any potential buyout won't have to wait for the amount of drilling usually required. The primary remaining short term (hopefully) event that will affect the share price is drilling and results.

I agree that DQ should have been removed long ago. And CQ with her. Maybe he can learn to bake some cookies by the time of the next meeting.
