Probably sounds like I'm making excuses but in add

Probably sounds like I'm making excuses but in addition to those things small businesses that transition as CWRN is doing to something larger have been focused on just surviving and growing the production/revenue end for so long that they almost always lag behind in office functions. Which to them -especially in a business such as mining is distasteful paperwork.

Plus since CWRN was founded in 1995 its taken 17 years to finally build a successful operation and from Bingo's post "mining is my game" you can sense the exhiliration of having finally arrived -becoming part of the exclusive club of entreprenuers-esp after paying off investors from ore sold in Dec.  So they are focused on production.

So it takes a while to recognize that to be professional and to be seen as professional by investors, business partners and customers etc they need to upgrade their office functions-including such things as updating the website-which means if they dont have the expertise to hire somebody to help do so.  And maybe hire somebody who can help as part of their job w PR duties also.

The company has only been debt free since Dec/Jan-and no doubt felt pressured by that debt and the demands of creditors-so hopefully we will see attention to the professionalism of office/web/PR/financial functions soon as part of CWRN's rare successful transition.
