@staolin . . . good to know I'm not the only one who browses this board for comic relief.  No offense to the few serious investors here -- not the folks who see themselves as "playing" this stock -- but basically this board represents the mindset of average part-time day traders who look to scrape up a few pennies profit here and there, and are tickled pink if they make $1000 for a month of  -- in their minds -- "holding" BZA stock for 4-5 weeks.  The phrase "long term hold" seems mysterious, or somewhat alien, to their concept of "investing", but long term holding is the madness which allows much greater profits in a much larger scenario.  Waiting more than a month to see a news release is, to them, an eternity.  . . .

As you say, the groundwork of completing the mine, dry- and wet-testing the mill, and generally getting all their ducks in a row to begin processing ore is the top priority... no reason whatsoever to send out a news release loudly exclaiming "We ran water through the crusher yesterday!"  Personally, I'd rather wait to see a news release about their first dore bar.
