resourcesMinerals, metals, oil, uranium, you will have a hard time finding winners in these categories. I have invested in these categories for years, mining companies face tremendous hurdles in Canada (especially BC) capital costs are high as is environmental opposition. Oil is largely land locked and our biggest customer is buying at large discounts, potash is at decades low prices, uranium is in the same boat and gold, the "store of value" is not really reflected in the value of its producers given the political turmoil all around us. I think the best a company like NGD can do is contain costs, maximize profits and get rid of debt as quickly as possible. I'm dubious that building new mines is cost effective compared to buying production, we only have to look at Rainy River for an example of what can go wrong and how much it costs to fix it, NGD now has a large long term debt and over 550 million shares out there, any more equity raises or debt issuance will only worsen investors position. -just my opinion.
