RE: News leak?as the saying goes " buy the rumor, sell the news". Mining exploration penny stocks are notoriosly volitile. If you think about it, the only thing they really produce is holes in the ground and figures on paper. In general I think a lot of people and funds got out of the uranium sector due to the spot price down turn. When that part of the herd returns I anticipate another upswing. This particular stock has interests in Niger and the "rebels", the muslim desert folk of the north want to share the uranium pie controlled by the black Africans' (the government)in the south. Sorta the same resource related tribal issues that going on in Iraq at this moment. The only difference in my opinion is one's about oil and the other's about uranium. If NWT's claims have plentiful and near surface uranium, it will be mined at some point in time. Such are the vagaries of mining.
