Where's the assays Touchy guy? Been drilling for 2 months. Sure they have....
I don't care if Elvis Presley is joining the board, until there's a QP signed off NR with assays, maps, tables and full QA/QC documentation, this company and its tale of drilling at THE TANNAHILL!!! remain extremely dubious at best.
They had "illustrious" directors on their board before (mondo stock trader, half of the First Nations in Canada from coast to coast to coast), and what did it accomplish?? Nada.

Sure, that's always a possibility, of course.
This is exploration drilling after all (assuming they even drilled), not resource definition drilling, so they might have hit something new that's 'awesome'.
But it would have to be quite exceptional to attract new investors (which could in turn push up the SP). More of the same (a few meters at a few grams per tonne) ain't gonna do it in this market. Just follow Junior Mining Hub's hot drill hole intercepts of the week reports for a measure of the competition out there vying for investors' money.
We shall see what the assays say (if they release any), wont we...?
Drilling + Assays = the definitive lie detector.

oh there are short positions, gitty ;) it's your clown mates needing to have a walk. Just look how unhinged jackie alone has become, sweating, spitting and personally attacking ACRL's geo, John Grant. No pretending here, that hatred is due to ACRL advancing on all fronts. Maybe too slow for some longs, but nevertheless advancing, there's no denying of the latter.

Then they're not a real exploration company, are they?
Real exploration companies release their assays as soon as they receive them, interpret them and have them written up by a QP. A couple days, tops. They have to. It's a compliance thing. No Securities or National Instrument compliance down here in the OTC sewer, I guess...
Anyway, no way these clowns have the $$ for any amount of drilling. So, no assays to release. Got it. No problemo.
ACRL would release assays at TIME APPROPRIATE!
Can't pay for drilling if you're broke!

Assays in yet??
Got my own company, thanks.
Assays aren't next day of course, but they aren't 2 months after drilling a hole (except during the pandemic...)
A quick lesson for you. These are average times, rounded up.
1. Drill a 200-meter hole - 2 days (assuming double shift)
2. Log the hole - 1 day (assuming a competent geo)
3. Cut & sample the hole - 1/2 day (you might sample 25% of the drill hole, depending on geology)
4. Bag & tag samples, deliver to the assay lab (there's one in KL, 3 in Timmins) - 1/2 day
5. Wait for assays, let's call it 10 days, might be less than a week with the new lab in Timmins.
6. Receive assays, interpret, write a news release with tables, maps, X-sections - 1 day (should be pretty simple for 1 or 2 holes)
So, what's that? Two weeks?
They allegedly started drilling > 7 weeks ago.
Should be a few assays back by now, no?
