RE:Why NFG will need Pine CoveYes, my rough estimate is that the EW vein may contain over 3 m ounces at very high grades.
Production is now estimated to begin by late 2025 unless they choose the bulk sample route which would be somewhat earlier.
That gives us a year or more to upgrade the Nugget Pond mill to 1200 tod which will be needed as NFG will have focussed production in the early years such as 100,000-150,000 ounces per year .
We have a potential company maker in the 10 km Whisker Valley project whose extensive gold in soil distribution is comparable to that of Keats and as this is a young orogenic site, the gold lodes like Keats ( 3 m below the surface ) are right below your feet .
Early drills confirm this..
