Interesting enough is the new position for Senior Mine Accountant, could this be to help out for when they get listed on TSX?

You are probably on to something there Jeff. As I pointed out in a previous post after reading TSX-V requirements compared to TSX, The responsibility of management to ensure that all accounting and reporting are accurate and guaranteed by CEO is very important to the more senior board. With all that was going on at the mine I am sure Dale probably would have felt a little uneasy putting his stamp of approval(guarantee) on the work of his office staff. Just one more piece of the puzzle.
