BOW, I agree 500%, something very questionable happened around that time.

You say;

So, I'm asking this:

"What changed from Oct 18, 2011 till Jan 09, 2012?" (From the high, till the day before the 1st set of results)

Management was in blackout, the sp rising in anticipation of drill or trenching results, then all of a sudden, moderate selling started at the high even before any news came out. Why would anyone sell at that time when we were expecting the most amazing results ever that never came. Someone obviously had to know that there was no results coming or that there would be no news for months. The sp seemed to be deliberately drove down that day, if someone wanted to sell shares, they could have put asks in for the following few days, yet they kept hammering the bids and drove the sp down further? I believe a look at who was doing the big selling that day may reveal some answers to some questions.

IMO
