These guys are hardened and enthusiastic geologists - not businessmen. They run on almost nothing and issue a few shares here and there only when they absolutely need to. I think it's unlikely to expect much in the way of hype or cheap shares to sophs and brokers. Sure it might get more liquidity into the stock but it's not the way they play the game (at least up until now, anyway). They will need to raise a bit of cash at some point for their major drilling targets but once again I would expect that to be the absolute minimum required and probably at a premium to the recent trading price.
