Since positive NRs don't boost the share price, this means a parallel path must be taken in conjunction with an NR, which is a directed outreach to investors.

I never suggested "draining the treasury" - I suggested a coordinated review of trading in the explorers, then see where that leads - joint editorial by explorers in the N. Miner, accompanied by a formal complaint to OSC by a group of exploration companies - this isn't a costly endeavor when costs are shared among numerous entities.

However, if no one likes this approach, consider the alternative - an eventual TO of PRB at bargain-basement prices.
