Lovetohunt, great post and 100% agree on your statements.
1) every question on the CA and JV will return every time with a "no comment"-answer, just as it should be with a company that takes itself and this CA seriously. That's where the professional companies distinguis themselves from the "crap" companies.
2) The CA has been signed in april/may, this means we are 6 months later and still no news ? Companies like AEM don't spent (and loose) that much time on a company that isn't worth the effort. I told everyone here before: AEM's geologists ar "quite excited" on what they've seen so far on TPW (this is an understatement...). News on a JV will possibly be out before the end of 2011.
3) the current market situation being junior gold stock prices not moving anywhere have only one, single reason: cuurent situation of uncertainty in Europe. Once this problem has been resolved (probably next wednesday), we will enter a next fase of massive money printing in Europe as well as USA. And that will be "bingo" for gold prices...
JMHO
