I agree with Garick that it is always good to hear from you Sinbob. Especially about the good news. Something that really struck me beyond the good news was the quality of the news release itself. It was actually readable and left little doubt about what the actual situation is. New writer, no doubt, but it may also be because the management has no doubt about what the actual situation is, therefore they can write with boldness and confidence. What a difference funds in hand to fund a really good project can do to you psyche. No reason to write a nebulous NR because you want the world to know what is actually happening.
Very encouraging.
