Hastie did not have billions of dollars of gold and copper in the ground firstly, and secondly, the Board will be long gone before this stock hits the dire levels you are predicting, the asset quality has not changed, NCM has some of the longest lasting reserves of any gold company listed. HST was in entirely different circumstances value wise. If NCM gets too cheap, a takeover will occur, no worries. The ruler is being run on many, many precious metal plays right now. JIMO/DYOR always.
