RE:Am I Crazy or What?Has anything changed below ground? No, the Carlin-style ounces are still there. What has changed is above ground where delays have pushed everything back. The share price takes a hit in the interim, but if you want to buy a ticket and are willing to ride the train (despite the journey being longer than originally expected) the destination will yield rewards.
But, the good news about delays are that the gold will be dug out of the ground at much, much higher prices than what was anticipated back in 2011 at the prior peak.
