I have now completed an initial version of the article/wiki for Norseman (click on "wiki" above to view or edit the article).
This suggests a valuation ITRO of 40p at current gold prices & exchange rates, including 8.5p/share of cash and I open the floor for discussion, having added to my holding today at 26.75p. When estimating profitability the A$ PoG is most important [around A$850 is true break-even, with cash costs currently being below A$700/oz].
