RE:Trenching at icebergQH recently mentioned that there has been a trend within the mining industry to design and develope vast, multibillion dollar mines. He also mentioned that this is unnecessary. A mine operator can start small and grow their operation organically. NFG is ideally set up to do exactly that. Think of all of the high grade gold zones which they can exploit at surface long before going underground and they are still finding more!
If the big boys don't buy them out they can still make a go of it themselves. With gold reserves being depleted time is on their side.
