Is it completely impractical to float Wildcat as a publicly traded company? .... there would be a lot more willing to take five and ten thousands loonies punts on it were it liquid and had a nice prospectus on sedar ... big startup costs on a listing yes, but after that all you need is a downpayment on a shareprinter and you're in business On how small a scale can production be started up and still be reasonably efficient on a per-ton basis ... in terms of capex ... i guess it depends on whether much dewatering is involved, availability of used milling equipment, distance from roads/hydro etc Did i ever tell you about the time the neighbour du jour just down the road here wanted me to go in with him on a gold dredge on a river in Bolivia ... surprisingly little capex involved, it sounded tempting, and he had experience, his family had had claims in the Yukon they'd held onto, he had worked on this particular dredge ... i had little going on at the time, might have gone with it if he hadn't been so nuts from an ugly divorce ... but he smoothed out, went into a profession, became a BC realtor, just like the chap who won the Great War for us How will Greater Lenora [or GLR R. now, grs.to] get the thirteen millions they need to start up the Box-Athlona? ... that's a significant multiple of their current market cap ... i wonder, will they lease or buy outright a shiney new space-age shareprinter ... but there are some people going the old way, getting some production going to pay the bills on development of other projects where they hope to then get production going to pay the bills on development of other projects on which, etc .... not narrow-vein underground though
