I normally see when options are issued is that it may be a sign of something good in the future, however they have had options issued and expired in the past so I think its just more rewarding/remunerating themselves annually at this point.

The hold off of news will then come with half annual financials which are due 16th March. Which at this point when financials are released its when they hide the assay results. If news was huge they dont wait and hit the market ASAP.

I hope I am wrong, but delay of any news means only 1 thing generally esp when ann 24/7 drilling
