I completely overlooked that MEP might have had some older drilling results outstanding.
Three months seems a rather long time for drilling and then assay results to be announced, but you might be right.

As a holder at the time, I well remember when Minotaur Resources announced smashing results from Prominent Hill. This company really did help set me up.

I remember the share price climbing from a few cents to well over $1.00 on the day of the announcement.

Someone on Hot Copper suggested that maybe they had drilled right through some Telecom cables.
The irony also was that the company offered shareholders some options at 10 cents?? only a few days before the announcement.
