Grant of Stock OptionsWell, one could interpret this timing to mean one of two things. Mangement are a bunch of opportunistic SOBs to be giving themselves stock options pretty close to 52 week lows..... if they were so confident in the company wouldn't they want to convey the imminent rise in SP by accepting options with a strike price a little higher than 60 cents?
Or it could be because material news is around the corner, be it Antofalla assays or something else. I believe Brian McEwen mentioned in his presentation at the Metal Investment Writers Conference in Vancouver he mentioned something about a deal in the works they would be announcing in the next few weeks..... whatever that means.
