Metallic Minerals Corp V.MMG

Ensuing is an interesting choice of words...

Let's review this week's news.

First-Scott Petsel's promotion to president, which I am sure he deserves. That seems like a piece of good news. But when I read the release carefully the word Ensuing caught my eye. Check it out and the context that it implies: We expect 2022 to be a* pivotal year for the Company and we have significant and substantive news to deliver over the ensuing weeks, including the Company's inaugural resource estimate at La Plata and a robust and dynamic field exploration season on all three of the Company's projects." So I go to the dictionary and explore the possible meanings of the word Ensuing. That word seems to imply we can expect a further wait for the obvious Elephant in the room- the extremely tardy drill results from Keno Hill. The failure to mention anything about Keno is fairly disappointing. Hey folks, sorry to be critical but I got to call it like, I see it.
Second- Yesterday's announcement- "in accordance with the Company's Long-Term Performance Incentive Plan" stock option grants.  What? How about drill results first, then announce the option grants. Right after the Fantastic, Terrific & Amazing silver grades that MMG has DISCOVERED and finally shares that "pivotal" information with the folks that pay their salaries, benefits, and a whole lot more. The cadence of news flow is a bit perplexing!

I remain bullish on Metallic's future, yet concerned about its corporate behavior.

* I had to edit Scott's Press release because it was missing the smallest of words (a).

I've got different meanings for the word, ensuing. Here are the synonyms from thesaurus: https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/ensuing What they most likely mean is..."coming weeks".  "We expect 2022 to be a pivotal year for the Company and we have significant and substantive news to deliver over the ensuing/coming weeks, including the Company's inaugural resource estimate

DEET, Thanks for your reply. Yes, the chosen use of the word Ensuing is a clever way of further delaying the all-important remaining drill results, and yes it effectively implies "coming weeks". Soon enough we will all get a peek at the Ensuing & absurdly late remaining assays from Keno. Maybe then we will be able to unlock the mystery of why MMG has been so tardy in

The long awaited drill results will only be the second from Keno East and the first Diamond drill results ever performed on Keno East -ever. As detailed below,it was a very small DD campaign of only 8 holes -East and  West combined. As the company has now completed the IP geophysics it will be interesting to see where and how the next DP is conducted and the amount of DH's they expect to
