Today's TriviaBefore the action starts here's some old news I missed.

The bank lists eight companies that are intermediate/mid-tier producers that it believes have “intriguing” mines and or development projects: Pretium Resources, Victoria Gold, Torex Gold, Wesdome Gold Mines, New Gold, Lundin Gold, Teranga Gold and Perseus Mining.
On the exploration and development front, BofA says its list of companies with interesting assets contains: Gold Road Resources, Osisko Mining, Rubicon Minerals (now Battle North Gold), Great Bear Resources, Gold Standard, Orla Mining, Sabina Gold & Silver, Marathon Gold, Okio Resources, International Tower Hill, Novagold, INV Metals, Premier Gold, MAG Silver, Midas Gold, Algold Resources, Eastmain Resources, West African Resources, Belo Sun Mining, Artemis Gold, and Sirios Resources.
One thing that might slow M&A down, of course, is the inability of companies during the current pandemic to conduct site visits of potential acquisitions. As a result, “acquirers excelling at ‘desktop’ analysis of assets could find an ‘edge’ over their competitors.”
