Agreed on the plate, but maybe they're saving that announcement for the launch of the third mill.
As far as the proposed fifth mill in Indo, I can see how they might think it's a little too early to announce that. Let them have plans drawn and be about to break ground on it and then announce.
More generally, my guess is that Gene got caught up on the details of the construction of the third mill and/or the design of the fourth, and he didn't get around to issuing an end-of-year 8-k or press release. Then by the time they put out the 10-k it was Christmas/summer break in Australia, and the place seems to shut down for weeks. For example, before talking to Gregg I tried calling Alan's accounting firm, and the voice mail there said they were closed until 1/11.
