Appears to be some disgruntled shareholders among us. Nobody is holding a gun to your head. Sell and move on to something else. You won't hurt anyone's feelings. Just for comparison because someone mentioned it. GBR and AMX haven't released any assay results since November. NFG has had 3 or 4 news releases with assay results in the month of January alone.
Everyone is complaining about assay results however if you go back over NFG's first 18 months in operation I bet they have had at least two dozen or more news releases with assay results. Not bad assay disclosure during a pandemic. Tough crowd to please. Some things are beyond NFG's ability to control and every region has had issues due to Covid restrictions. The assay labs are no different. Workers can't go to work if they are sick or had close contact with someone who is Covid positive. I know I can't go into work if I have one symptom.This is the reality that everyone is facing today People are still dying from this virus January month was Newfoundland's worst month during the pandemic for cases and deaths. But guess what. The guys are still drilling away out there in the cold and snow, rain and mud night and day 24/7 Lots of progress is being made on the ground. No doubt we all wish things could be moving along quicker but unfortunately that isn't today's reality.
I bet every business on this planet has been affected by the pandemic in one way or another. I know I've been in isolation that many times and tested for Covid literally dozens and dozens of times at work trying to keep each other safe. In case you guys have forgotten the pandemic still isn't over so it still isn't business as usual. I think New Found Gold has done an excellent job of keeping their operation going and their workers safe during this pandemic. Assay labs have struggled like many other businesses so perhaps we need to cut them some slack. Our results are coming soon and I think we will be happy campers. NFG isn't spending $3.5 million on a GigaShack building and buyout the three amigos NSR on the property for $7.5 million in cash and stock just for fun. The company has 178 employees and soon to be 14 drills turning night and day. This isn't your average everyday gold discovery. The drill results are in the upper 1% of all assay results released on the planet last year so NFG is doing pretty damn good in my opinion.
All that gold didn't magically drop from the sky, it came from deeper down along the major faults in the ground and NFG will find it. The last few news releases were excellent drill results. The stock didn't appreciate much because of global economic conditions. Not the fault of NFG management. Like I said previously, some things are beyond your control so you have to adapt and change the game plan and roll with the punches. Great buying opportunity for the astute investor who can exercise a little patience. Sunday thoughts from Megacopper and the Rock Doctor.
