RE:Thoughts on post from Doug,Cynthia,and Drilling consultant Yes Bracko...is this what you're referring to:
..Doug's use of the specific word "buyout" ...was this a slip? Being an official PR guy...that word is meaningful because....
"On August 23, 2023, the Corporation agreed to pay the financial advisory fee to US Capital Global, with the expectation that this will assist the Corporation and its recently formed Special Committee with continuing to explore opportunities and potential transactions that may be strategically beneficial to the Corporation and its stakeholders."
Of all deal and transaction types, buyout was used ...not merger, joint venture, partnership, etc.
Regarding the drilling, it could be that Cynthia is just being professional in thanking the drillers. However you're correct it's still early with more drilling planned for later this year.
I noticed that the driller writes "Amazing discovery.
Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity."
Now if you're still planning to drill more on the site AND hoping to continue to do business with LME in the future...I'd expect a comment to elude to that but nothing of the sort is said...
hmmm...connect the dots...or nothingburger?
Ps looks like there's no continuation of heavy volume buying today
