It’s so funny These new guys come on here and make outrageous statements about New Found Gold without knowing all the facts. I'm getting tired of it. Do you think the company would dish out $3.9 million in cash and 458k shares to the 3 Amigos for their NSR on the property if they didn't think it was any good. Give your head a shake. They have ten drills turning now and soon to be 14 drills in a mining friendly jurisdiction right next to the TCH with available power and other infrastructure nearby. It doesn't get any better for an exploration company.
I estimate they have drilled about 500 holes in about 15 months with about 50 holes returning bonanza type grades. These holes have been drilled over a 3 km stretch of the Appleton Fault and about the same over on the JBP Fault 5 km to the east.
The known high grade gold mineralization has been intersected to about a 300 meter vertical depth in several high grade zones all on the eastern side of the Appleton Fault. They are now beginning to drill on the western side of the fault with two drills while seven still remain on the eastern side and one drill over on the JBP Fault.
These two main faults have secondary fractures or splays extending off them that contain most of the high grade gold. It is in this extremely high grade zones that contain a lot of gold in a relatively small amount of rock. This fact means Queensway can be mined cheaply giving huge profits to shareholders. And the favourable fault structures continue through the entire 100 km long property.
This is why Eric Sprott is so heavily invested in New Found Gold as he was in Kirkland Lake who owned the Fosterville mine in Australia.He knows this property is bigger and better than the Fosterville property and will be extremely profitable. Eric Sprott has now accumulated more than 36 million shares and will be buying more. I predict his investment in NFG will eventually be worth more than one billion dollars. Don't believe it? Stick around and watch what happens.
