Producing gold Until they are actually producing gold it is just talk. Pardon my skepticism but this mining business warrants a lot of skepticism! A producing mine makes all the difference. NFG take note---a merger with MAE is the only logical step forward for both companies. The gold revenues will make everyone very happy, and fud drilling and aquisitions. Producing, and doing it without debt is a sure fire way of proving that you have "made it", a rare accomplishment in the Junior Mining business. $3000 gold helps a lot too.
