All quiet still with GEL, but in response to a polite email to Simon Henderson today, about the likelihood of some press or quarterly news releases soon, and updates to the CHFIR site, I received:

Re our lack of exposure to Canadian brokers: this is precisely why Justin Cochrane and Adrian Fleming have joined the team, they're both dynamic individuals with a wealth of experience and together cover all bases in the Canadian gold/finance world. They've made the same comments already - that we lack exposure, and are enthusiastic about changing that. We're also taking this chance to review and overhaul our wider IR strategy to come up with a more cohesive and proactive approach - more news, more reporting, more communication. We have exciting exploration and plans this year, and have no intention of letting ourselves and shareholders down by not communicating effectively.
Thanks, Simon.
Great, this sounds good.
