RE:Interesting Factoid It would never have occurred to me to compare Canagold to Novagold's progress with Donlin, which is the largest undeveloped gold deposit in the world.
But assuming it is a valid comparison, then I suspect that if Canagold had spent 30 years getting to an M&I of 34Moz and a market cap of 2B$ then probably no big deal would have been made about their tardiness either. Unfortunately for shareholders what they actually did is about as far from that as possible.
