Well if management can attend the Hard Assets conference they must have access to some funds, did they have booth there ? And certainly means they can afford a press release. I have no idea why they wouldn't put out a corporate udpate seeing what has happened to stock last few months, and all the questions that are unaswered. People can be stubborn and not be open to new ways of thinking, so maybe they also believe the better mousetrap theory that they will get a permit and that will solve stock price problem.
Doesnt surprise me stock price is down and that it could go lower, more important where can it go IMO in the next 6 to 18 monthhs, and how they will survive in the short run. It is very worrisome there is no announcement of any sort of financing right now, as they simply cannot maintain a public reporting company gearing up for producton on $5,000.
