Silence from management Not a single news release since the coup. Almost every other reputable Mali miner has put one out.
When there's obviously bad news that management avoids talking about like the plague, it does not inspire confidence that management will be forthright with other potentially negative issues moving forward.
Either the coup in Mali affects Compass Gold operations or it does not. EITHER answer is material and should be disclosed to shareholders. Shareholders have a right to know the situation on the ground.
It's an embarassment. Management's decision not to put out a release makes Compass look amateurish, especially compared to other Mali miners.
