You say, among a lot of interesting things, "...because if the issue was material, it would have to be disclosed,"

I was the first one to make this point with regard to the latest release, and I'm now wondering just how true it is. Since no one has referred to it up until now, I was content to go back to lurking. But since you seem to give credence to it, I'm now wondering, if true, exactly how the requirment to release "material" facts operates. Is it enough to reveal all material developments quarterly in the scheduled 10-q? If not, just when is a company required to make a formal, unscheduled release of negative information?

Say IPM had a draft of a BD report that said there was nothing in the dirt after all (don't think for a minute its true, but just for argument). Could they wait until the final report to make that news public. If I remember how the Bre-X case unfolded, it was just this requirement that forced Bre-X to make public just such preliminay reports.
