"Ian Brodie-Brown's Aurcrest Gold Inc. (AGO) remained unchanged at two cents on a busier-than-usual 843,000 shares. The company is hoping to raise $300,000 so it can drill at its Richardson Lake gold property in Ontario. It last had money to drill in 2012, and it continues to make the most of one assay from that year's drill program: 15 metres of 1.8 grams per tonne gold. President Brodie-Brown has been likening Richardson Lake to Goldcorp's Musselwhite mine 110 kilometres away. Like Goldcorp, Aurcrest has had no trouble from the local Indian band, the Lac Seul First Nation, so far. Goldcorp's friendship was solidified last summer with a "Obishikokaang collaboration agreement" that followed five years of community spending. Goldcorp has helped the Lac Seul finance its Lac Seul Training Centre for Excellence, its Lac Seul First Nation Business Equity Fund and even a Tim Horton's franchise. Aurcrest, on the other hand, sold the Indian band 4.2 million shares for $575,000 (at 18.5 cents in 2010 and five cents in 2012). Unfortunately their value has dropped by $491,000, and the band hopes that Aurcrest will train its members as certified drillers and then hire them. Aurcrest will likely oblige. The company has an excellent record of working with local Indian bands. At its previous property in the Ring of Fire it used to stop drilling mid-season to let the chief of the Webequie First Nation hunt geese."
