(1) increasing tin prices

(2) reserve upgrade(s). This one is tipped to be a big one because of the high number of rigs in operation.

(4) Prefeasibility study

(5) A recent roadshow to raise awareness of investors

(6) Global media puring out the info on the tin situation. Expecting a bigger break out soon.
