RE:RE:RE:Awful production report Albertan22,
In 2013, when Fosterville was one of three mines that Crocodile Gold owned, the market priced CROCF stock at under 10 cents, so Fosterville was where Costerfield is today in terms of market perception.
Second, at Bjorkdal, why no ore from the Aurora zone if they already have 5 development levels there? Bjorkdal is the ace in the hole, and Duffy didn't play the card this quarter. He plans on playing it next quarter based on the NR.
Third, even at Bjorkdal's lower production level in Q3, I still think that the mine will make a pretax profit of around $2 million USD.
Of course, it is purely a random role of the dice that there would be a quarter of low production at Bjorkdal and a quarter of dismal production at Costerfield.
