That is true, there is always plenty going on behind the seens investors are not aware of. I work for Suncor (Firebag), currently off on rotation, and as an Engineer myself, I'm not always privy when it comes changes in the big picture until they're made public. A lot of times we find things out in the news just like regular people who are not involved do. The bean counters are usually the one's who know the most in terms of how things will play out. Just have to remember that mining works on a timeline metric of years, not months or days. Investing in mining is not a quick game of blackjack, but more like game of roulette, but in mining, the roulette wheel can spin for many years before you find out if it lands on your number. Patience is truly a virtue.
