All I want is for them to be honest and up front with information that they have in their possession. This is a public company , I am a shareholder and I feel I have just as much right to the information in a timely manner as all others that buy, sell and hold this stock.

I couldn't agree more, rp. Like you and many others, I've been around long enough to know that 'truthiness' is more the norm than 'truth', and that 80 000 ounces is more like 80 000ish. Doesn't make me happy, but that's why I'll look primarily at the trend. So far, so good (or goodish).
