I agree with you about Eloise and Jericho being the main game and priority for management and probably for a lot of investors, I think it the results were material in that they were not dusters (dusters often consigned to be buried in Quarterly Reports in some companies) but they were also not "blow your socks off" discovery drill holes, probably "near misses" and "incrementally positive" results would be a fair way to describe the results (in my opinion).
Maybe just a case of assay labs reopening, assays received, geos and senior management back at work in the office/mine and a few days to email back and forth to whip up the text of the announcement, and create a few updated long sections and diagrams, and all done by Friday, so released then, maybe nothing more than that? I hope it's just a routine humdrum process for AIC and there isn't any attempt to hold results back or bring them forward for any reason.
Personally, in my own opinion, I prefer to read about exploration results as a standalone announcement (even if the results were dusters which is not the case here), rather than do a million Alt-F Find searches in a flood of PDF Quarterly Reports that all come out in a short space of time, but maybe I am lazy.
