Seems to me that the only "mining" going on here is,as usual,the mining of investors $$ and credulity.
The business seems to consist of endlessly  "acquiring assets" these days and then talking them up to investors
"Proven reserves"..."under development...great potential"...
Meanwhile its all a leveraged play on the (eternal) hope that gold is going to regain its lofty valuations of $1500-$1700/oz.
Years from now, these get resold for 25 cents on the dollar..."written off" etc etc
.
Furthermore...it looks like the $US and the US economy/stock market $ is where folks are putting their bets...not on gold.
