and keep in mind this is just a thought, but if you want to look optimistically, perhaps the drilling at McFaulds West has turned up something of significance... hence the shareholders rights plan. If Jim were to announce what the drilling has uncovered, he'd be announcing it to every mining co. out there also. Maybe he want's the rights plan in place, for the added protection, before making the findings known. So we may not get any word on the drilling till after the AGM in December. I could be wrong, of course, and the SRP is just a precaution... knowing that eventually all the JV partners will be consolidated at some point and better to get it done at this AGM in preparation.
