Novo: Placer all the way down
Or so says Bob Moriarty of 321Gold.com. And Bob should know having followed the Novo story from back when it was trading at a quarter.

Mining is the art and science of extracting minerals from the ground at a profit.
Reality bit hard for Novo shareholders in the form of a blunt press release on Friday, November 24 outlining the frustrations of the Purdy’s Reward tenement, a key tenement within the farm-in and joint venture Novo has with ASX-listed Artemis Resources Limited, in Western Australia. The gist of the release is that it is proving difficult to get useful samples from the property. Which, in turn, pushes any sort of resource estimate off into the New Year.
It is great to see a Seeking Alpha contributor dig in on where one of Canada’s great mining investors is putting his money. Eric Sprott likes gold a lot. He has a ton of Novo stock but he also has Bonterra, Garibaldi and investments in a dozen other Canadian explorers.
Excellent overview of the Pilbara gold rush. Companies and geology are covered lightly but carefully.

He also gives a useful history of Pilbara’s start as an iron ore resource with enough iron to meet world demand for centuries.
Novo Resources (V.NVO) is out with a new press release today. It is a geo’s delight but the money shot is,
“I going to share something with my readers that no one has ever mentioned that you really want to think about.

Quinton Hennigh of Novo Resources (V.NVO) took to the Denver Gold Forum and presented a live feed from Western Australia. Not often do you see geos digging nuggets out of the ground.
I met David Erfle on the media tour of the Yukon I was on a few weeks back. Quiet, intense and very, very focused. He has to be because he is trading the junior mining market and runs a subscription newsletter from his site juniorminerjunky.com out of Southern California.
A few days ago when NOVO (V.NVO) was trading around $3.00 I noted that Australian listed Artemis Resources was trading at $0.15.
