RE:You got it right!It's not the performance of the drills, it's the performance of management.
Quite a few studies show that the valuation of a gold stock is 75% management skills and 25% what's been found in the ground.
This management team had no stractegic game plan to production and you see CK making the same mistakes with NKG and PALI.
Over that period, it hardly mattered to CK as he got compensated to the tune of nearly $30 million or so.
