When the NI43-101 comes out it will generate a large number of shares traded. The day traders will be all over this, whether it is good news or bad. Since the NCIB cannot raise the share price, it is often hard to execute when volumes are low. With the expected higher volume in shares traded, there will be lots of opportunity to trigger NCIB trades, including large block trades, during this flurry of action. Time is running out to enact NCIB trades (October 28 is the last day) so the release of the NI43-101 in this period would be a natural volume generator. Just an opinion.
