Bricks that's a pretty funky theory :) I honestly don't have the faintest but I trust you as a poster so will regard it as a possibility. There is certainly plenty of evidence of deliberately downbeat comms, for now I'm erring on the side of our Exec's being naturally cautious and professionally non-rampy. As you say the SP has absolutely zero to do with the sale price in the case of a frictionless transaction. As I said over Christmas I have been nonplussed by the lack of social media comms with the current campaign. In the summer we had the stills and video of the drill pad, cores, discussions between LR, JM and LP which were brilliant at bringing op's 'alive' to PI's and really seemed to help the SP. If there is anything in your theory it would point to complete sale rather than JV as obviously a partner or take-off arrangement would lead to a building SP. As far as an imminent deal goes who knows but it does seem very quiet, almost lockdown, nb. LR is normally a prolific LinkdIn poster. For balance he could just be busy so I'm guessing :)
