I think I have that same feeling. There is enough other stuff going on to keep management busy - for them to have also been working on this behind the scenes suggests that there is something big going on. It also suggests that there is more going on than we realise.

Getting a few of the smaller stars aligned first before working on the larger ones.

By the way everyone - the only 'mistake' that N.B has made is vocalising his expectations around the permit and when he had been told it would be received. He has not been managing the process, and has no control over the timelines. The more you push in this instance, that slower they are likely to come. He simply shouldn't have made mention of a date. Does any of this change the value in the company, not really. Does an announcement like this? YES.
