We trust Contango ORE (CTGO) CEO Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse<\/strong> who discovered<\/span> Donlin<\/strong> one of the largest<\/span> undeveloped gold deposits<\/span><\/strong> in the world.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

In 2009, Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse received<\/span><\/strong> the Thayer Lindsley Award<\/strong> for his Donlin discovery<\/span><\/strong>. This is the same award that Augusta Gold (TSX: G)<\/strong> and Titan Mining (TSX: TI) CEO Donald Taylor received<\/span><\/strong> in 2018 after discovering<\/span> Arizona Mining's Taylor\/Hermosa deposit<\/strong>, which led to Arizona Mining<\/strong> being acquired<\/strong><\/span> for $2.1 billion<\/strong><\/span> or 1,576% above<\/strong><\/span> NIA's suggestion price (the same will happen to Augusta Gold<\/strong> shortly).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

The Taylor\/Hermosa deposit<\/strong> later became the first<\/span> U.S. mineral deposit<\/strong> to be fast-tracked<\/strong><\/span> through the U.S. federal permitting process<\/strong> under the FAST-41<\/strong> program. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

After recent meetings with the Trump Administration<\/strong>, Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse<\/strong> believes that CTGO's Johnson Tract<\/strong> is the only Alaska mining project<\/strong> that is likely to be selected<\/strong><\/span> for FAST-41<\/strong> priority<\/span> permitting<\/strong> in the future. When it comes to Alaska<\/strong>, one of the top ranked<\/span> mining jurisdictions<\/strong> in the world, nobody<\/strong><\/span> is more<\/strong><\/span> experienced<\/strong><\/span> than Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Under the leadership of Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse<\/strong>, CTGO<\/strong> is already generating<\/strong><\/span> the highest<\/span> free cash flow per share<\/strong> out of all publicly traded<\/span> gold companies<\/span><\/strong>. Imagine if CTGO's lender didn't force<\/span> CTGO<\/strong> into hedging a portion of their gold production<\/strong><\/span>. When these hedges come off<\/span><\/strong> and CTGO<\/strong> begins selling all of its gold<\/strong><\/span> at the spot price<\/strong>, CTGO's cash flow<\/span><\/strong> will instantly multiply<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Billionaire<\/span> John Paulson<\/strong> has just acquired<\/strong><\/span> a large<\/span> stake<\/strong> in Donlin<\/strong>, but CTGO's newly acquired<\/span> Johnson Tract<\/strong> is even better!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
