Goldnugget, the geologists that quit were having problems getting along and communicating with a certain manager who ended up resigning on sept.10, this was the reason that they left and drilling had to be halted. The news release on aug.26 was worded in a way that would make everyone think that they quit because of the requisition, this was proved to be false.
They're trying to make it clear that there are new people in charge and a new and improved attitude is in place.
