Bob Moriarty Interview yesterday on the J Taylor Show:

Starting at 49:00.

MY SYNOPSIS: Let’s just say Bob is a very “colorful” character. He talks about monkeys being smart enough to invest in Novo and suggests the other mining professionals who couldn’t figure out the Pilabra for 140 years as “idiots”. Entertaining. That being said, he shares a bit of the backstory behind Novo Resources and why they don’t seem to be getting that much publicity (only he, the Hedgeless Horseman, and J. Taylor seem to talk about it). The gist of it is that all these people (suggesting the pundits and other mining professionals) are very JEALOUS of Quinton Hennigh, who has taken the Beaton’s Creek project and proved that it is in fact economic using unorthodox methods. Therefore, nobody wants to talk about it. Bob predicts that Novo will be producing at the rate of 125,000 ounces per year at the 18-month mark. He also says Quinton set back the beginning of production from December, 2020 to January, 2019 because they didn’t want to hire a bunch of people and then immediately give them 2 weeks of vacation (makes sense to me). Bob says Quinton is his best friend and is writing a book about the Novo story, set to be released the day they start pouring gold.

Cash flow out the gazoo. LOL

DEG raises $100M. Yikes.

“Commitments received for a Placement of approximately 83.4 million shares priced at A$1.20 per share to raise $100 million (before costs)”

Money is definitely flowing into the sector now. DEG has had an unbelievable year.

Artemis finally finished selling its shares of Novo. Perhaps will start to see a recovery in Novo’s share price?

@AUinvestor on Novo

@AUinvestor Excellent… spot on. However, I’d describe the current set-up a bit differently… I wouldn’t say that Novo is transitioning form explorer to producer (although I’m certain that it’s viewed that way), instead I view Novo transitioning from an explorer, to an explorer-producer with emphasis on an explorer in the very initial stages… an “explorer-producer” in the initial stages with decades more of exploration and expansion of production… many explorers that prove up resources, are captive to the Lassonde curve as they do transition from explorer only to producer only… not Novo Resources. Furthermore, (and here’s the kicker in my view)… Novo Resources is being priced in with a lot of risk as only an average potential producer in the pre-production phase/trajectory of the Lassonde Curve… not as an explorer with huge blue sky potential. As one that studies their bulk samples at various properties… one realizes that Gold just doesn’t jump 12 clicks from sample to sample… the Gold is potentially continuous between those bulk samples. That is where the potential for the Gold resources to quickly grow. Most successful producers have average size deposits, but few have the potential for a world class high-margined deposit or even a Grasberg or Muruntau style freak deposit given Novo’s huge land package and/or QH’s Witwatersrand Gold precipitation theory.

1) This potential for a world class deposit is not even remotely being priced in.

2) Novo’s rapid advancement of technological methods for mining this course nuggety Gold is not being priced in either as it has not been proven yet.

3) Novo’s ability to become a producer (in addition to its continued proven status as an explorer) is not being factored in either… it won’t be until QH unveils his team of experts to run the mill and until they prove their abilities starting the 1st Qtr 2021.

4) Once all these realizations come together in synergistic fashion that in fact Novo continues as a successful explorer proving up ever more Gold resources in a favorable mining jurisdiction (perhaps one of the best when compared to most others), continues to work well with the aborigines and Australian government to secure the permissions and mining permits, demonstrate their abilities to expand Gold production year after year, and bottom line produce large profits that grow each year, the market will price in low cost Gold production decades into the future sending the price soaring.

I don’t view this like I did many of my stocks that I purchased in late 2000 for pennies that later proved up a multi-million ounce Gold/Silver deposit and then later were bought out by a producer or in rare cases transitioned into a producer from an explorer. Novo will be both, an explorer proving up ever more Gold ounces in the ground, and a producer expanding production year after year. So I think that there are enough people that think the Lassonde curve applies here to Novo Resources, but soon enough will see the bigger picture described above.

2021 appears to be the time frame that Novo will accelerate in price as a profit curve is developed and extrapolated upon… I know, because I’ve gone through the process many times attempting to evaluate a company’s share price based on a projection of its Gold production curve. As uncertainties are removed, doubts dispelled, knowledge gained, confidence built, the share price will continue to rise in exponential fashion.

Anyway, that’s my take… back to letting it all unfold in Novo’s own unique manner.

NOVO starting to recover nice - up 13 cents so far today - I guess it’s true the Artemis selling was a somewhat of a drag on the stock price.

Hi Mike, do you know anything about First Mining Gold Corp (FFMGF) ?

No but I see that they have a decent website: https://firstmininggold.com/

I have somewhat lost interest in Canada and focusing on Australia instead but no doubt there are still a few gems found elsewhere.

Novo sells their Blue Spec property/mine to Calidus Resources for $19.5 million. Novo coincidentally owns 5.6 million shares of Calidus (2.56% ownership).

From July 2

Thank goodness this one is finally waking up! Here is 6 month Daily chart.
Anyone else still in this one? Used to be a Pilbara darling. Regrettably, Artemis had to sell it’s 50% stake in Novo (gave up Beaton’s Creek) to raise $5.78M to move forward. Sad to see, but glad to have shares in the current trending Pilbara plays I started with (DRG, KRR, NVO). These three all did reverse split restructuring to get share structure “right sized”, as did Pacton Gold recently. Must be what was needed as even Pacton Gold (also a long-time hold from early days) is starting to wake up and coming to life, much to my pleasure. For Artemis, Carlow Castle drilling and Paterson mining license covering the Havieron is making a difference.

… and 6 month daily chart for Pacton Gold (PAC.VN) for anyone interested.

Easy,

Still have some Artemis. Have to check, might even be in the green on that now?!! I figured it would recover when the others in the Pilbara recovered.

Novo Acquires Option Over Kalamazoo Resources Limited’s Queens Project

September 22, 2020 08:24 ET | Source: Novo Resources Corp.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Novo Resources Corp. (“ Novo ” or the “ Company ”) (TSX-V: NVO; OTCQX: NSRPF) is pleased to announce that it has been granted an option and an additional earn-in right to acquire an initial 50% interest in ASX-listed Kalamazoo Resources Limited’s (“ Kalamazoo ”) Queens gold project (the “ Queens Project ”) located in the Bendigo zone of Australia’s Victorian goldfields (collectively, the “ Transaction ”) ( please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 below for map s of the Queens Project ), with the possibility of an increase to an 80% interest, as described below. The Transaction is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and other customary regulatory approvals for transactions of this nature. Novo holds a 7.64% undiluted / 11.60% fully diluted equity interest in Kalamazoo pursuant to an investment made on January 14, 2020.

Queens Project Description

The Queens Project encircles the core of ASX-listed GBM Resources Limited’s Malmsbury gold field and covers multiple structural extensions of the primary lode Au deposits of this important high-grade gold camp. The Malmsbury gold field is situated in the eastern part of the prolific Bendigo Zone approximately 55 km south of Kirkland Lake’s high-grade Fosterville mine. Given the similar geologic setting of Malmsbury and its history of high-grade gold production, Novo thinks Malmsbury has potential to host similar mineralization to that at Fosterville. Novo holds an option to purchase-joint venture the Malmsbury Project with GBM Resources Ltd. With the addition of the Queens Project Transaction, Novo will hold an interest in the entirety of the Malmsbury gold field.

Queens Project Terms

Novo will have a six-month period (the “ Initial Period ”) to conduct due diligence on the Queens Project by issuing to Kalamazoo 24,883 common shares of the Company (the “ Initial Shares ”) which will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months from the date of issuance. At any time during the Initial Period, Novo will have the right to exercise its option (the “ Option ”) to earn a 50% interest in the Queens Project by issuing A$2 million-worth of common shares of the Company to Kalamazoo at a deemed price per share equal to the volume-weighted average closing price of the Company’s common shares for the five trading days immediately prior to Novo’s exercise of the Option (the “ Option Shares ”). The Option Shares will also be subject to a statutory hold period of four months from the date of issuance.

If Novo exercises the Option, it will have the right to earn an additional 20% interest in the Queens Project and form a joint venture with Kalamazoo by incurring AUD $5 million in exploration expenditure (the “ Earn-In Amount ”) over a five-year period (the “ Earn- I n Period ”), as to a minimum of AUD $250,000 during the first year, AUD $1 million during each of the second, third, and fourth years, and AUD $1.75 million during the fifth and final year of the Earn-In Period. Any expenditure incurred during any year of the Earn-In Period which surpasses the minimum required amount will be credited against the subsequent year’s commitment.

If Novo satisfies the Earn-In Amount by the expiry of the Earn-In Period, it will have 30 days to elect to either (i) earn an additional 10% in the Queens Project by delivering a preliminary economic assessment (the “ PEA ”) which must include a minimum 1 million ounces of gold of which at least 60% must be comprised of indicated mineral resources within three years of the Company’s election (the “ PEA Conditions ”), or (ii) maintain its 70% interest in the Queens Project. If the Company elects to maintain its 70% interest in the Queens Project, Kalamazoo must elect to either (i) contribute to 30% of exploration expenditure, or (ii) automatically convert to a 2% net smelter returns gold royalty.

If the Company elects to complete the PEA but fails to satisfy the PEA Conditions, Novo will retain a 70% interest in the Queens Project and Kalamazoo can elect to contribute to 30% of exploration expenditure or dilute at a rate of 1% for every AUD$100,000 not contributed. If Kalamazoo’s interest dilutes below 10%, Kalamazoo’s interest will automatically convert to a 2% net smelter returns gold royalty.

If Novo does not satisfy the Earn-In Amount during the Earn-In Period, Novo’s interest in the Queens Project will decrease to 49%.

Quinton Hennigh on the option exercise yesterday (appeared in Globe Newswire article today):

“We are pleased to exercise our option over the Malmsbury project,” commented Quinton Hennigh, Chairman and President of Novo. “Although early stage, Malmsbury hosts one of the closest geologic analogues to the high-grade Fosterville gold deposit situated approximately 50 km to the north. Like Fosterville, Malmsbury is situated along the eastern margin of the prolific Bendigo zone. Mineralization is of classic epizonal orogenic style displaying high-level vuggy quartz veins, elevated antimony and finely disseminated high-grade gold. Novo believes that it now holds one of the most prospective high-grade gold projects in the Victorian gold fields.”

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Professor Hennigh sure does seem to be a very industrious and motivated individual. I wish I could say the same about some other CEOs.
