Blue, I have to agree with your point about nothing else but a deal making the SP go up. I mentioned before the principle of diminishing utility or diminishing return. Having ten groups interested in financing is great. Finding out there may be more is less impactful and finding out some of them will not even hear a presentation until February is actually a negative.
Same with news about more minerals. Everyone on the boards used to get excited about a larger HM or more shallow minerals, but now it is almost a yawn as far as SP goes. Again, I think some people think it adds time to testing and permits, etc to find new areas or stake new claims. Don't get me wrong--I want to feel like VP and Leif and Ice on the other board and feel like this is all good or at least OK. But at some point, I'd like to just see a signed deal somewhere. Or a way to get at least the 6.5 mil to start drilling at HM.
