OK, I'll give it a try. I'm certainly no where near the most knowledgable poster here, but I've been keeping up on things pretty well.

You have the part right about quite a few assays that have been returned for further processing, and yes, that is a good thing. The GNH crew are sending back the assays that look good, to have the g/t measured accurately enough to be 43-101complient.

As far as the the time it has been taking to compile enough completed assays, I would have to say that what GNH is trying to do here is outline/define a complete ore body, rather than come up with a few good core results that will temporarily boost the share price. I think they are looking at a bigger picture to be clear, once they start putting out NR's.

I don't believe that West distanced himself from GNH, rather he distanced himself from the company that he was affiliated with, that had been speaking for GNH.

Some here, including myself, bought in at or near the high, and are feeling the pain.....I as a stupid retail investor put everything I had into this play, even tho' it came from an other play that has been years in it's downfall.

Soooo some of just want to be able to sell a few shares at a bit of a profit, in order to buy some bacon and beans....so to speak ( and a few Christmas presents) I have not been able to do regular trading for years now, because of well known disaster that many here are aware of.

I think maybe next week could be a good one for us, especially if gold makes a comeback at the same time as a good NR.
