From a market perspective, I would call this a consolidation period.

From a philosophical perspective, this is the calm before the storm.

I was told that the target date for results was end of Jan 2010. From what I have heard, that hasn't changed. I have no clue if they have received some, none or all. I would think that once there is enough to report, they will do so. What I have heard is that there is lots of work that has happened and is ongoing on the properties. They are not simply awaiting bulk sample results to continue work on the assets - keep in ind there is a lot of exploration targets to go after.

I would expect a good news flow going forward.
