A short lesson lesson on news release timing in the mining sector

There’s a big difference between releasing news of exploration programs in early February rather than early March of any given year.
1) One of them is a strategy intended to wow the retail audience at PDAC at the start of March. The timing is splashy in in-yer-face-that-day to get people talking about you.
2) The other one is to make sure big hitters who get the VIP rooms and fly private jets into the BMO Global Metals & Mining Conference in Florida at the end of February have plenty of opportunity to think you over before the real money gets together.
Both are valid strategies. Guess which one Lake Shore Gold (LSG) (LSG.to) is using?
