Also no expert- but as I recall- BG's cockamamie RRC idea was that gold could easily be found there at easily accessible shallow depth. The fact that we are now talking 1-2000 feet also implies to me that- thank god- we are drilling at HayMountain itself. I only hope 2000 feet is deep enough. The ZTEM studies suggested ore body as deep as 5000 feet. 
But in any event, think it is time to consult a real expert- which I will try to do in the next few days. 
As for the PPS I think it has been nicely holding its own/ just treading water while awaiting news. I would think there would be more volume and larger trades had the day traders jumped in. I think the moderate number of tiny trades reflect small little gambits by the faithful. I hope that as news becomes more substantive interest will widen and volume and PPS hopefully will shoot up. 10 bagger?! I call that a good start!
