We also observe that insiders have little skin in the game with the ability to currently sell significant quantities of stock under a liberal stock option program. The largest insider owner, Director Louie Simens, recently resigned for personal reasons and was the resident Board expert in operations and construction. This is troubling because Nova claims it is now moving towards construction. We estimate that Nova's share price has near-term downside risk of approximately 45% - 60% ($2.50 - $3.50 per ADS), but under certain scenarios, including a potential loss of a $43.5m Department of War award, up to 100% downside and we believe it is likely to significantly underperform the junior gold mining index.",
