Your excellent summary was exactly what we have been seeing -

Slow and steady. Get the basics in place without a lot of hype (pump) and start to prove up resources. It appears we are wll past that point and closer to actual production then most, without being jumped all over by investors.

It appears the Gold market is not going to decrease in the forseeable future and this stock will do very well in the next 6-12 months. Many new investors to the "speculative" market of junior mining companies will be looking for a good return (certainly better than 2% money market) but with as minimal risk as possible. Century should look great to them by actually being close to producing and not a 4-5 year wait time for a huge return.

IMHO -

PS - of course smart investors -no matter how long in the market- will see this as a great shorter term investment as well.
