Peter, If I understand things correctly, the "they" you are referring to is Chris Dupont. He puts out all PR'S for EXS. Gary in IR takes all the phone and email questions WRG to anything Explor. This post makes me feel that there is no understanding of what IR does to earn $6k a month. Not only are there endless phone calls and emails from shareholders and other interested parties that Gary does NOT dodge, but road shows for mining conferences, hard money shows, he sets up and travels to meetings with fund managers and prospective JV partners. He has a six and sometimes seven day work week representing Explor and it's shareholders. There is no way you would catch me biting off a piece of that. As far as twittering and such I don't know, but my money says the IR department of these big companies cost a sight more than $6 grand a month.
I understand the frustrations most of us have with being unable to decipher these PR's and have nothing insightful to offer as a remedy. Someone said we need a better way picture what is being created with our drill program/news releases so that the market and shareholders can have something tangible with which to judge results and I totally agree. Any ideas should be forwarded to IR and perhaps we can help improve the process.
Just my two bits worth.
