With Gold above $2.750The properties held by I80 Gold are a perfect fit for Nevada Gold mines as now with the high PM price they now make economic sense. They would be extremely profitable. Research the infrastructure that company has.
Obviously bullish traders will see ways to bring gold properties into production such as loans against future production or JV's on claims that involve other metals but provide cash flow. Or refurbished autoclaves for $248 million. Or just sell everything at a premium from where it is now (quite possible).
And short traders (or those who just have a totally negative disposition, and think the markets will crash every waking hour) will always find insurmountable barriers why the gold can't be mined.
Nothing ever changes.
Do your own research, come to your own conclusions and go from there.
