actually, the truth is that the "story" has dramatically improved over time.
the o/s dramatically decreased, when uspr cancelled the rtc deal (125,000,000 fewer shares in the o/s).
the previous drilling campaign recommended additional drilling to prove continuity. the current drilling campaign has proven continuity.
the current drilling assay results are way better than expected. drill holes 11 and 15 are world class. it still remains to be seen how much gold, silver, and copper is on the property, but the current drilling results surely makes the "story" better.
just because the seller converted and sold his shares in a short period of time, driving the pps down, does not mean the "story got ugly". just means once the seller is done, the pps will return to higher levels.
btw, uspr is way closer to a new jv or a buyout, than it has ever been.
