If you find sources that say that BZA had $800,000,000 of gold then it proves that $800,000,000 of gold in the ground is worth a $19,000,000 sale price.

Consider that that you net $200,000,000 of gold from that over 30 years at a 8% interest rate compounded annually which are broad approximations.

Using a time value of money calculator gives a present worth of -19,875,466.51. You would get less than that since that is the breakeven to the buyer.

You might want to note, the mineral rights were given a value of $17 million with another $12 million to the plant property and equipment and more to some other items. There were expenses and debt that brought the total to $19.7 million. Without the plant, property and equipment the deal would have been valued at zero.

Cash $13,846
Restricted cash $869,938
Marketable securities $4,857
Accounts receivable $10,969
Inventory $157,891
Prepaid expenses $188,297
Reclamation deposit $21,511
Property, plant and equipment $12,156,983
Mineral property $17,005,544
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $(6,696,437)
Asset retirement obligation $(1,721,427)
Loans payable $(2,240,700)
Net assets acquired $19,771,272


This is your typical example of the difference between uniformed 'facts' from message boards, and facts based on reality. Reality is what actually happens, hence the name.
