You are so on the money when you talk about a balancing act.
We know dilution is a fact of raising money, (although still like the mini-production idea along side it), but from what I've been reading they don't want to do it while the SP is in the .50's range. We want to see it and I'm sure they want to see it above the $1 range.
This presently other challenges as I'm sure they want to attract bigger investors and you can't do that in the under a buck status and it has to live in the dollar range not just float up for a short period of time.
So they have their juggle act cut out for them, but thanks to Hoov, Bratty, etc for their time and energy I know I have the confidence that they do have a plan and they are not unaware nor are they being caught off guard by events like this week.
News and assays and conceptual models will help, but as others have said, patience is indeed a key. You put a few years into stock investing and we all see that theme. There is no magic bullet ride to the top and you have to stay informed with what is going on in the market and in the company.
So keep up the great work and discussion guys/gals. This is a very well rounded and grounded hub
