This as Thom Calandra describes what he thinks are the captains of the Canadian resource industry.
Top Bullboards post: “If anyone's taken a look at Grayd' last drill results, or best drill results - they're in line with the holes at Granada but about 20% better in some areas. If they're willing to pay $200 + an ounce in Mexico and we have similar results, what can be said for a Resource Estimate of 2.5 + million ounces at Granada? Those 58 cent warrants will be exercised if that's the case and going by what majors pay is a far more fair valuation for gold in the ground than what the market wants to value them at. Just look at what the market valued RVC's ounces at last summer when they traded at $1, they were bought out for $9 + after showing over 4 million ounces. Who's more accurate - the market who valued them at $1 and less than $60 million market cap? Or New Gold who purchased them for $500 million and just upgraded the 4 million ounces to 6 million today at the BlackWater deposit. If GBB were to prove double Grayd' Resources at Granada with 2.5 million ounces of gold but at a slightly lesser grade and were even given a 30% discount from GYD' acquisition price of $275 million for grade differences, we would still be worth $300 million dollars or $2 a share.” From taylor1988 on the Gold Bullion Development (TSX: V.GBB , Stock Forum ) board.
