JJ. I have already been patient for over 8 years, all that has been done is drill drill drill getting a bit tedious now, why can't they produce along side drilling would then pay for itself as they progress!!
ian12, this was always a speculative investment for me, and therefore a modest sum committed. My view is that we have to be patient, expect some good news over the next 2/3/4 years. This approach allows me to focus on my other larger safer holdings. Good luck. JJ
No news on the Gold mines since 24th May ! Getting beyond a joke thought there was lots of activities going on at the same time??
Thanks ian12
Either lower their voices so you cannot hear or speak in their `native` tongue!
Maybe it was a confidential conversation!
ATB ff
I think the heat is getting to people/someone. Have a a pint of chilled water it will make you feel better. Good luck. JJ
@JDavo…. No they were not speaking in their “mother tongue”, or any other family relative tongue. I walk in and I hear English, I recognise it, as funny enough, I speak a little myself and then they clock me - don’t recognise me and switch to Welsh. Does this explain it better for you, or would you like me to translate this into your “mother” language??
I think it to be quite rude and unwelcoming really.
IMHO and all that :o)
The program was on More 4, but my name not Gary. Gl.
We need to find her, she ran off with the only bit of gold bearing quartz we have so far!
What channel was the darcy bussell program on Gary?
Mark Austin said 4-5x spot in his interview on the Darcey Bussell programme. Sounds promising for when they get down to the lower levels and bulk sample the visible gold. That must happen some time this year. If they find a seam then there should be no need for concentrate figures. Best case scenario for clogau is we have some bulk samples from the flooded level by Christmas which show the resource potential, a big re-rate and some more national press coverage to follow. Mean while we have the other assets to keep us rolling
That's good, and I expect they will be more than happy to sell the gold to the royals at 2-3x spot price. :-)
@jimjam some years ago I ran a precast concrete factory in a predominantly Welsh speaking village. As I lived in Swansea, where about 10 to 20 % speak Welsh, the workforce assumed I didn't.
Many theorised how I used to find things out, leading to a nickname Dai the Spy
Not much laughter 6 months later I in an unguarded moment answered a question about what time it was in welsh
@jeremiah "keeping outsiders out", guessing from the demographic of the fb alba investors group you could conclude that quite a few investors are Welsh and there could be a few nationalists in there too!
Buy-Sell, had a similar experience many years ago. However subsequently I spent 5 years living in Cardiff where I have a number of Welsh speaking friends. It often happened that we would be out cycling and go into a pub where locals would assume we were all English. They would then be speaking in Welsh, sometimes about us, to then be caught out when my pals would respond in Welsh. It would all end with laughter and good hearted banter. I love Wales and have many happy memories. JJ
Do people deliberately change to talking in Spanish when you walk into a pub in Spain? No they were likely speaking their mother tongue before you walked in
They don’t like outsiders coming in, particularly the English. I’ve walked into pubs and shops, where they have deliberately changed to talking in Welsh (very rude). But they are quick to moan and complain if they see a decline in revenue from tourism. They don’t like us, but they like our money. All in my own opinion of course. But I have to say, that it is a minority and in the ‘deepest darkest Wales’, as Jeremiah99 put it.
So not much pont in all the royal gold hype and fanfare if bureaucracy was always going to hold things up to the point of stagnation. Might a little Welsh nationalism be behind the delay? They don't been to be too keen on outsiders in some parts of deepest darkest Wales.
Bats don't go into hibernation until mid November in the UK, my sources tell me, so we have more time to resolve things. JJ
News is due from groc. The 249 drill report from last year.
Note ... ryan looks to be active this weekend. A fake account.! Its easy to spot.
How ever. The company has allways said that they will keep shareholders up to date. Does that include alba when groc is now responsible for most if the news.
As I said some time back ......... it will take 12 months for the report to come back, (Its been a few months now) none of the planning applications have been submitted yet, very easy check to make on the the Gwynedd gov website, these thing take time, the Gold is there, ALBA are going to have to jump through very many hoops before they are allowed to touch that place in any meaningful way, everyone involved NRW etc is extremely aware of what caused the Mawddach pollution disaster of 1984 ............. and for the lazy/cant be bothered/rose tinted brigade .. it was a Gold mine, give ALBA time and a lot of good luck, we will produce Welsh Gold, Quantity?
What happens come October when the bats go back into hibernation, because at the speed NRW are taking we will not be allowed to do anything over the winter period ?
#Herbert I now it's sickening but your not on your own let's hope things pan out I could do with some revenue back, 2yrs and nothing back some days I think fk it but I would of lost thousands,
Well another week and not much news on here or indeed Greenroc.
I've commented myself twice on Greenroc and they are the last two over the last month, so very quiet on that BB. I'm guessing there's not many shareholders in that company against Alba's BB, maybe because Alba has 54% so no need to hold directly. ?
Nice purchase by somebody today just before closing of 2M shares ! That's about the only interesting thing today, this week, this month, this !#!#.
Come on the bats have more interesting things happening.
