From a guy who has been thereMany moons ago I was involved in a diamond exploration company and the operator was Kennecott Canada.(A subsidiary of RTZ, the giant Australian mining company).
We received rarely an update, if ever, and every of our news release had to be vetted by them before releasing. As a matter of fact, we never really knew what was going except the drilling process when ever they felt there should be an update.
.
I am quite sure the same is happening to Vast. Large operation are thinking differently than the small exploration company. They don't have to keep their shareholder updated of their progress. More so, they want to keep their drilling progress to themselves, not volunteering any of their information to competing mining companies that would save them millions of dollars or tip them off to acquire more leases in the same area.
Again, please keep in mind - it is NOT Vast drilling or having anything to do with the operation.
If you believe in Niko, that they will eventually pull it off, keep the stock or buy more. If you don't, sell.
Vast can do nothing about all this. They are, I am quite sure, considered a nuisance by Niko.
Just my 2 cents.
