"i'd rather see noront in a proactive scenario and get the price and attitude up by putting confidence into the market sentiment rather than holding on to news of assays and then putting it out as a reaction to some outside aggressive takeover."

Moi aussi, but it was interesting to see, after the last announcement and it's subsequent rise in sp, how quickly they were able to go in and knock it off it's legs with a rather quick and dirty plummet. It may not be enough just to come out with good news when someone has every intention of seeing this sp drop or at the least stand still. It may be important to offer the news at a critical moment when all eyes are on us and all things are being observed. Demonstrating a new value for the company may need fresh legs from fresh news at a time when the guns are really brought to bear on us. Trump card has to be dealt at the right moment.
