RE: Decision TimeI don't think governments ever "have to" make a decision by a date certain to satisfy private companies or their shareholders. A decision is scheduled and anticipated for January.
As for share price upon permit approval, I have no idea what "we think" the share price should be. If you've been following this stock, you know that it is trading at a price not seen for a very long time. Were you around for all the months at 20 cents? or even 16 cents when we were all despondent? So the rise to 80-90 cents may mean the approval is already price in and we won't see any increase at all after approval. Heck, maybe it will even go down. It has gone down before on good news.
My interest is what will the share price be a year or two down the road, when financing for the mill is acquired and the approved mines go into production or get into the process of production.
