Came acros the above article called, "Novagold's Galore study fails to impress." Galore Capex is 5.2 Billion; ours is 3.256 billion. Interesting article to compare against our BFS. I think Schaft is still a more attractive project than Galore.
Importantly, there is a back-in agreement which creates some urgency for Teck to act on CUU where as Teck has the right of first refusal if and when a buyer is identified to buy Novagold's Galore property.
Thoughts or ideas on this?
