RE: RE: NES vs. CBJGoldcorp is busy enough? Busy enough according to who? The major producers are having a hard enough time keeping up a constant production profiles. Apart from Kinross all the other majors will barely have any growth in production over the next 3 years. Rubicon (RMX) is in Goldcorp's Red Lake camp and G has yet to make a move yet but Agnico came in for 10% of the outstanding shares below $3.50. I'm not saying they bought them out but hostile moves for majors are not as rare as you say. I agree it's not likely for other majors to move in for NES at this point but I wouldn't agree at all that Goldcorp is too busy to spend money to save themselves in the long run. Would you rather buy NES for $400 million dollars with no 43-101 or pay $1 billion when they've proven 7 million ounces of gold? I hope the latter but I don't think Goldcorp has the option to just turn a blind eye to a deposit that could have half the total inventory of the Guerrero Gold Belt to date. They had great drill results and the stock went to $3.37 and thanks to the general market and the restlessness of shareholders in junior companies - every junior took an absolute beating. Other than ORT.A, NES has had one of the best recoveries since the early October lows. You can't judge what a share price goes to based on news in a market when 50% of people aren't willing to put in a bid for juniors. 1. A once active mine.. let's see a substantial resource and permits before we talk production yet. 2. Radically different countries? Agreed. I prefer Mexico to Colombia as I don't like the tax rates of other South American countries that will likely spill into Colombia at some point. 3. Different geology/morphology - agreed. 4. One wants to sell a resource the other wants to mine the resource. That means NES will likely be bought out before CBJ every pours an ounce of gold. Your statement - the other wants to mine a larger already established resource? If you'd like to argue the size differences in CBJ's deposit and NES' deposit we can but I guarantee you NES is twice the deposit CBJ is.
