Bonzo, where you been hiding?
Seems like the purchase of the mill was probably I’ll timed if not a mistake given their refocus on exploration.
Degrey buying green bananas.
2 Projects are sharing a boarder and Novo has a mill … Makes sense to do a JV saves building a mill…
There is talk of stopping the maintenance on the mill. What will happen to this asset?
I am beginning to wonder if I should’ve sold Novo for $7 a share when I had the chance. Did Quinton sell any of his shares?
