Osisko Mining decided to enter into an 50/50 Joint Venture agreement with Gold Fields to develop their Windfall project.
Re. NFG:
Eric Sprott is getting on in years.
Palisades / Kettell still state the following in the "Concentrated Bets" section of their website, with NFG as the only logo shown. LAB and one or two other companies - If memory serves, I think Nevada King and Goldspot (now Earthlabs) where the others - also used to appear in this section, but have since been removed: CONCENTRATED BETS
Palisades builds control positions in strategic assets in top rated jurisdictions.
These larger investments are selected on the basis that they will be of interest to larger companies, providing the potential to realize change of control premiums in addition to value appreciation.
In a nutshell, I suspect 2-3 more years of drilling and assaying any and all potential sweet spots at Queensway, followed by a buyout (similar to Great Bear). Unlike Fosterville, NFG has been showing the extremely high grade goods already. Conversely, Newmarket Gold was already mining gold in a rather ho-hum open-pit operation at Fosterville and was in the early stages of the underground leg of their mining when KL bought them out. I don't think Newmarket realized the monster they had underground at Swan and Eagle. NFG has shown spectacular holes near surface, so Sprott / Palisades know going in what they have on their hands and will likley price the company accordingly in any takeout talks.
