NOVO Update an Australian emerging producer
Novo Scores Financing Coup
Quinton wants to get into production. He can’t talk about it because he hasn’t completed a feasibility study on the project. But it’s high grade, oxide near surface, it’s cheaper to mine than to plan. To go into production Quinton needs another $2 million. Rather than issue more shares at today’s dismal price, Quinton and Novo are going to copy something Freeport McMoran did 15 years ago; they are going to issue a convertible debenture.
The debenture will garner no interest but will mean investors are buying gold for delivery in a year at a 30% discount.

Barkerville scam????
As an aside, the TSX finally sorted out Peter George, the geologist who claimed Barkerville Gold Mines had a 10.6 million ounce indicated resource in June of 2012. The report was total bullshit of course, it was a made to order scam on behalf of Frank Callahan. It took the TSX 3.5 years to determine that an appropriate penalty for doing $100 million in damages to investors should result in a giant fine. They nailed George with a $15,000 fine. So take that all you scammers out there, the TSX is on the prowl and looking for skullduggery.
Peter George should be banned for life from the industry… as an example. These people do the industry no good and give it a bad reputation.
