The EGX comparison is not valid. EGX has over 300M shares out as well.
A better example for GLD's potential is Red Back (RBI). From $1.50 at feasibility to $5.50 over a couple of years or so. And, GLD will produce more than RBI and has fewer shares out.
It's straight mining business from now and GLD has some of the best in place.
Why would anyone interefere, whether they own 1% or 50?
