I've been thinking about the issue of the frequency and content of the PRs. I think it is very much part of the culture of a company. Another junior miner I own issues a press release to let shareholders know it's about to issue a press release. They make you feel informed and cared about, but I'm not sure the PRs play a bigger role, in terms of share price. Explor management is not of the hand-holding variety. Both with that other company and with Explor, I try to let the professionals drive the bus. Ownership implies trust in the professionalism of the company's management. CD has a number of balls in the air (e.g., drill programs to design/oversee/adjust on multiple properties, interpretation of lab results on same, rumored financing and joint venture/takeover negotiations on possibly several properties, etc.) and I think we have to trust his leadership in the timing of the PRs. If you don't, maybe you need to find a company with a greater commitment to shareholder relations. I will trust in CD to deliver the only shareholder interaction that really matters, a longer term appreciation in share price. The bigger picture requires that the timing and substance of these next press releases be handled right. I'd rather they came correct and more slowly, than incomplete and faster. That's my story till it changes.
