"Does anyone know what's going on and why the delay?"
Yes. MKRO is a scam, and there is no gold really.
Real mining companies have certain assets like mining equipment, a previous history and people who know about mining.
MKRO (aka Nissi), by their own admission, has none of these things.
They have a story, but not as many marks as they need- and the eyes of various regulators upon them.
Shame(not really).
