Just a comment on my own post as I just re-read it for the first time. My impression was that the guy didn't mean he wouldn't buy it ever, just that in the world of mining that he wouldn't suggest buying it at present. The impression I got from my friend was that he liked it, he just doesn't know if we have gold, and Candido's CV does not include any mining experience...so I'd say that it's a fair conclusion if you're doing your DD from afar.
