“Ahh, I thought it was in my bag, but it looks like I’ve left it at home by accident!”
“My computer crashed and I didn’t save my work!”
“I’ve been busy with extra-curricular activities and volunteering work”
“I’ve been so ill over the past few days, so I haven’t been able to look at the drill results”
"My mom CEO and dad CFO got in a huge fight last night"
"I tried writing the release, but I failed to understand the results"
"I was in a hurry, so I mistakenly left my laptop in my wife’s car, and now she’s in the office across town"
Or the least likely option - tell the truth:
"We don't want release the results, because they are shit. We hit nothing, the structure wasn't mineralized and we don't want to tell you as you'll abandon us like rats leaving a sinking shit ship"
