Isn't the new Geologist of Gateway use to work for Placer Dome many years ago when there was a JV between Gateway & Placer Dome and before Placer Dome was taken over by Barrick Gold?
Does anyone know if he was working for Placer Dome on the Gateway drilling many years ago?
I understand the X Placer Dome Geologist who is now with Gateway comes with some highly regarded credentials.
Gateway looks like an exciting play with X employee (Geologist) of Placer Dome joining Gateway and within striking distance of SANDFIRE? Just imagine a result simular like Sandfire happened to Gateway? All my dreams will come true all at once?
If this new Geologist has a say in the new drilling we could be in for some exciting news don't you think? Can anyone else help out here but this is what I have found out in my research lately. The more and more home work I do on Gateway the more excited I am becoming on this stock and just wish there is more volume to accumulate further stock.
