True, it's possible.

Although I doubt that'd be the reason they are delayed in this case. We're already pretty much at the bottom, so releasing mediocre/bad results now isn't going to hurt the SP too much, and it'd leave more time for the investors to recover from any shock before the next set of results.

They are clearly confident in the project, as are we all. So all the more reason to get bad results over and done with right now.

My personal guess is that the slow-down in their announcement speed has more to do with their focus on the actual project and perhaps even the excitement of turning their site into a proper gold mine. I know that if I were in the middle of proving a resource like this, my mind might not be fully focused on writing up announcements either.

It's extremely frustrating in the short term to not know what is going on inside TNR. But the only solution to that right now would be to go work for them ;)
