I dont think that the drill permit will be the big news release that will drive the share price up. HOWEVER, I do think that there is a small percenage of potential buyers that are not as comfortable with the legitamacy of the SLI program as most of us longs are. I believe that some feel enough lack of confidence that they will refrain from buying in until they see the drill permit. At news of the permit, these few will likely frantically buy in and with SLI being such a tightly held stock, it will not take much buying to drive the S.P. up substantially.
