FDR: gold is good… and ideas are betterAren't you glad we've got *both* at FDR? Today our management team made another move straight out of the Great Bear playbook. It expanded to include Natalie Senger as VP of Resource Development.
If I recall, GBR added more than one excellent executive to help with corporate growth and pre-planning for (threatened) production at Dixie as the expected buyout negotiations marched steadily toward completion. Chris Taylor said something along the lines of it always being a good time to improve bench strength. True then, true today, true tomorrow.
I have little doubt Senger will be a powerful addition. With so much potential at Antino, who knows what critical decision forks might be missed there solely because of our embarrassment of riches? A management team can only do so much in any given day. Another set of 20/20 eyes, not to mention an additional high-performing mind, cannot fail to improve our exploration results.
To say nothing of the possibility of brand-new blue-sky ideas for maximizing FDR’s value. Who can predict what new mental connections might be forged thanks to a fresh take on the scenario? Or what business networking architecture Senger already possesses?
The Blue Meanies plaguing our culture these days won’t like this next part, but FDR shareholders will. Women’s brains work differently than men’s. And thank God. The world would be boring if the sexes formed a monoculture. Women see some things men don’t - and vice versa.
Not to say women can’t succeed in almost any field, as has been proven for 100 years. But their perspective will often be radically different. And, in this case at least, variety is clearly a strength.
(I hope I made a few of you older shareholders laugh with that pop-culture reference. I am a little too young to have seen the Meanies' screen debut in 1968, but they are timeless villians.)
Now take a second step back and consider the timing of this announcement. It maximizes impact by preceding the next set of assay results by at least one day. Though, it would be a neat change of pace to call a halt sometime *today* for 30 minutes, then hit us with the visible vein assays. Two pieces of news in one trading day! How does that grab ya, day traders?
But even if management waits for later this week, or next, we are still keeping up a great pace of relevant news flow. Here’s to our drill crews giving Ms. Senger plenty of data and clues with which to better and more rapidly develop FDR’s Antino resource.
All the while, gold prices keep showing encouraging chart action. Whatever brief pullback we experienced as we digested the last surge to an all-time-high looks to be ending even as we watch. The GDXJ index certainly thinks so. Onward, fellow Founders backers.
