Wash, Rinse, Repeat...
Wash, Rinse, Repeat... My take...
GGN signed a JV deal with Sage Gold back in 2010... 50-50... about half the shares out then but GGN was still only trading at about 12-13 cents... a wash really... the deal ultimately failed. This agreement with WGV not really much different except we now have much of the infrastructure in place to finally start new ore mining, have learned a lot (presumably) about the property, and now have a partner with the skills, expertise, and financial backing required (unlike Sage Gold). If the original deal with Sage Gold went ahead in 2010, GGN would arguably be in a similar position today re: share count and would have likely went through similar growing pains. Would share price be where it is? No idea. So all in all... likely the best outcome here and probably not much different than if previous deal went ahead. I guess now we know why Sage Gold ran for the hills after hiring SRK to do a BFS that was never completed.
Anyhow... Take the Waterton 'emotion' out of this and IMO this is could be a very good deal for GGN going forward. That said, after all the false hopes here I will now believe it when I see it. I would like to see some equity support in the meantime and unless the previous Jan 15th news release was completely untrue we should hopefully be getting a relatively positive update soon and announcement of a return to normal operations. They have been advanced cash where is it going? Also expecting our regular Feb 15th call to be announced soon.
