Wrong day for this news release. Something a footToday was a very bad day for such a good update with metals and miners falling sharply.
There is some urgency to this release and for me it indicates we are going to get another NR very soon. The next release may not be favourable at least short term.
On a more optimistic note may be management expect a hostie takeover bid and want shareholders to stand by them in resisting an offer.
If both the above scenarios are not what motivated the NR then it was a blunder to do that today and managemet should have waited for a better market and mining day.
