Perhaps they are going to deliver the news as late as possible on the Friday after all of the traders have gone home. Isn't that when the politicians usually deliver the news that they do not want noticed. Perhaps they are hoping a really good january will soften the blow and are waiting till January nuimbers come in. In any case we are just speculating and I agree that once a tradition of an update is established it should be continued . At least an explanation for the delay. I am sure that most of us were prepared for a number less than 95,000 ounces, so by delaying this information only adds kindling to the fire. Let's have it George, we are shareholders and we deserve nothing less than prompt disclosure of material information.
