Yeah, ain't that interesting.  Too bad increasing copper prices and three back-to-back "news" releases are not pushing up the volume.  If and when that happens in a big way, I think we can be almost assured that it will be followed by an offer of some sort.  

For now, anyway, that is not looking very likely, despite hooplas over confidentiality agreements so common in the industry that most explorers don't even publicize having them.
