I agree. "As a shareholder all I need is for the stock price to go up and I believe this will happen". If (IF) they can give an approximate date for Mining to begin, the SP is likely to do what you want...a sharp high and quick rise. Whether or not they actually Mine doesn't really matter. If they can build the SP purely by updates, it will give people the chance to make money, break even or cut losses. The chances are the BoD will also sell up, so as long as you can sell, you'll be ok. If all hell lets loose and the SP goes mad, you may only be able to sell tranches of smaller blocks. Either way, sellers will keep plugging away as they think fit.
If the BoD off-load, it MAY be they choose to close later on, hard to say, but it may be one of the few chances that anyone actually gets to making any money?
If they DO Mine and get a result, the current SP will be confined to History.
