Yup... I think the news could be construed as negative from those that either don't follow the company very closely or are glass half empty sorts. Those of us who do follow the company closely know that this confirms our understanding that sfmi is close to bringing on some new blood... experienced in the mining industry. Since RS has had his look at the mountain, he is probably pretty much done with his work. Part of his job btw was to help attract new geology types, which he has accomplished. And he'll still act as a consultant per the pr.

I'd also infer from the news that we are close to announcing a new BOD since they would be silly to put this out without the backup BOD news. JMO. My thinking is that they could have easily delayed this news till they had someone ready to bring on board but again that is just my opinion.

Off to enjoy the 65 degree weather here in DC... then football, then back to sfmi!
