Hey everyone, just read this interesting piece on Streetwise Reports about Western Exploration's Doby George project in Nevada: Gold Junior De-Risks Promising Nevada Project With Power Feasibility Study.
My initial thought is this is a smart move by WEX. Power infrastructure, especially in remote mining locations, can be a massive hurdle and a huge cost sink. De-risking that aspect upfront with a feasibility study for grid power supply could really boost the project's economics down the line. I've seen too many promising juniors get bogged down by unexpected power issues, and it can just bleed their capital dry. For my own portfolio, I'm always looking for companies that are thinking several steps ahead like this, especially as I'm getting closer to retirement and seeking more stable growth.
It's definitely a positive sign of management's foresight, reducing a significant future unknown. Anyone else track WEX, or have any experience with other juniors taking this kind of proactive approach to infrastructure? What are your thoughts on this strategy for developing gold projects, particularly in Nevada?
