If the company did indeed do some "secret" drilling, then IMO that is grounds for a HUGE riot from shareholders.
How long have we been screaming for news, most of us would have been happy with what they ate for lunch, and now you think that drilling has taken place without public knowledge?
What reason would they have for keeping that hushed? Not a good one IMO. No reason too, unless of course they signed a JV and an NDA on the property.
But then, wouldn't they have PR'd that too (ie, Lucky w/ Vale)? And if they did, then where the hell are our BVIG shares?
I agree that SOMETHING has to be going on that is not normal. There has to be SOME reason that KATX has been behaving the way it has in recent months.
