Drilling...
Drilling... 10Q... page 11...
In Q3 they had to purchase $2M in 'Reclamation bonds'... the reason for the dramatic increase in these assets from
to $2M was...
"The asset retirement obligation at December 31, 2011 includes the Company’s estimate of reclamation costs for Phase 1A of the Borealis Heap Leach Project and in fill drilling that commenced in the quarter ended December 31, 2011."
i.e. They HAVE been drilling.
In Q3... They had operating loss of $2.5M given production issues during initial production (these are supposedly under control). They spent $11.1M on leach pads, plant, reclamation bonds, etc. They have $3.5M tied up in inventories... gold sitting on the leach pad for the most part. To me this does not sound like anythign out of the ordinary for a start-up. What are we missing? Again, compare to SGN... they are not making money yet.
