Sorry to single out just these 3, I know there were a lot more, but these were the ones I found with a quick scan.
Those that are not expecting any news until the spudding/January/etc I have a feeling the company is trying to convey the exact opposite. But if you don't believe that theory, then just look at what happened to pre-Alameda-1:

And I would also suggest that the timing of these ASX announcements will be closer together this time instead of further apart like they were for Alameda-1, why? because most things are already setup/prepared/done it before.
