MMG's CEO helped found Alexco ResourcesThe drill discovery success of MMG at Keno East will enrich AXU.
Clynt Nauman and Greg Johnson have been together at Keno Hill since at least the inception of Alexco. The vast majority of east and west Keno Hill District is owned by the companies these two men lead.
Clynt Nauman and Greg Johnson from Keno East have a relationship that goes back to Donlin Creek and Nova Gold days. I have read and posted here that AXU would lend mining infrastructure to Nova Gold in their earliest days.
What I didn't know until today is that Greg Johnson/Nova Gold helped to found Alexco Resources. I don't know the details but it is in this piece from 2017 written by Bob Moriarty:

Greg Johnson, CEO and Chairman of Metallic Minerals Corp. (MMG:TSX.V), was an important part of NovaGold who helped take the company from $0.09 a share in 2001 to nearly $20 a share a few years later. NovaGold helped found Alexco and Greg was part of the process. If I was to ask around as to who knows more about Keno Hill than anyone in the world, I think the answer would be Greg Johnson.
