The "gold" has been touted for many many decades (3? 4?) and there has never been any income from it, just constantly feeding that money sink pet project from oil & gas income. The sooner they cut loose that albatross and concentrate any/all income on core business, producing oil & gas, the better this company will be. But, they have to tout something and if that's the only thing to tout, even if its pie in the sky, then I guess its going to be around awhile so they can at least appear like they have something/somewhere.
