Silverhorse; if it was the politician, '50,000 flies can't be wrong' or something and if you meant TE Lawrence on his 70 miles ride, 'Are we there yet?'
What's the answer?

Hi Speedy
When I worked on Canvey Island they all thought I was from Suffolk with my accent
Hi Petersalkeld. Sarfender is a well worn terminology for anyone born and bread on the mud of the Thames estuary in sight of the Kursaal. ATB Speedy
Hi Daveri007. You are correct and i am wrong. I said "currency is toilet paper" and i should have said fiat currency is toilet paper. The $/£ have, since 2000, lost 85% of their purchasing power when compared to gold. You hold fiat to pay your bills if you want to but for me i will hold my wealth in gold and convert as necessary. Your posting style shows you to be a bit disturbed may i humbly suggest a holiday. Speedy
Peter
just pulling your leg , its just an East End thing , Jet is a lady so she learnt to talk proper lol
Peter, he means Southend-on-Sea. And we don't all speak like that, thank you very much, Mr MTB! LOL. I can't believe I missed a joke thread so, here's one for the road. It's not mine, and don't read any further if you think you might take offence, ha ha.
A man is stranded in the desert with nothing but a camel.
As the days drag on, all alone with no sign of civilization in sight, the man becomes increasingly lonely. One day, the feeling is so strong that he loses his better judgement and decides to make love to his camel.
So the man pulls down his pants and positions himself behind the camel. Then, just as he’s about to do the deed, the camel takes a step forward and the man falls, face first, into the sand. Ashamed, the man continues his journey, ever keeping an eye out for towns or cities on the horizon.
After a few more days, the man is feeling lonely once again and, against his better judgment, decides that he will try again to make love to his camel.
Once again, he pulls down his pants and positions himself behind the beast and, just like before, the stubborn creature steps forward at the least opportune moment, leaving the man lying face-first in the sand.
This goes on for a week, every few days the man trying to make love to the camel, and every time it taking a step forward, leaving him embarrassed and ashamed.
One day, just as he is about to make his fifth attempt, he hears a woman screaming off in the distance. He rushes towards the sound and discovers a woman buried in the sand, with only her head visible. She has silky, blonde hair and big, chocolate eyes and after weeks of isolation, the man thought that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
“Help me! I’ve been trapped here for hours,” she says.
The man hurries himself digging and pulling until he has completely freed the woman from the sand. To his surprise, she is completely naked. Brushing the sand off of her body seductively, she smiles at the man.
“Thank you so much!” She says. “You saved my life and I insist on repaying you. I’ll do anything you want, absolutely anything, just ask.”
The man smiles excitedly. It seemed too good to be true, it was the moment he had dreamed of for weeks.
“Well if you mean anything,” he says nervously, “can you hold my camel?”
Coat on, out the door.
Very valid question, and I am sure the Newcrest mining engineers have and are considering that option.
I come from the south, grew up in Eastleigh near Southampton and I don't talk like that
Gert. that’s very interesting and I am sure the Newcrest mining engineers
Will be looking at conveyors as one of the options for the ore transfer.
Peter
its the way we talk in the souf lol
Afbouer, a conveyor system only needs to transport 90kg of material per meter of belt travelling at 7m/s to achieve 20mt/y. I worked underground, it was my job.
Transport of ore to Telfer
Bamps I think you are right, a rail transport system will be required to handle the massive maximum tonnage of 20 m tons of ore per annum although as you suggest it could be less because of other parties sending ore to the mill.
This is an example of the cost of building a railway in Australia
An extension of the Adelaide to Darwin single rail track was built to Alice Springs in 2003.
Cost was A$ 1.056 m per km (2012 prices) including earthwork, signalling, bridges, level crossings and stations.
The cost of single track, rails and ballast only, was estimated to be A$ 900000 per km (2012 prices)
Updated to present day price, inflation 17.46%. Cost is A$1.240 m per km for total system
Updated price for track alone is A$ 1.057m per km
Total cost of the single track from Havieron to Telfer plant would be approximately A$ 47.565m (£26.635m) plus any earthworks, signalling etc.
For the massive size of the ore deposit, the tonnage involved and the long LOM. Imo the rail option is viable.
We will have to wait and see what Newcrest planners select. It is very interesting.
Well you've got me speedy
I went to a reasonably good school and I am ancient but "Sarfend boy me" has got me beat
When like he suggests currency fails in the world and civil unrest/riots and civil wars occur around the globe does he really think his silver and gold coins held in vaults will save his pompous backside....chuckle, giggle and tut in Absolute fear!
Speedy garbage posted “currency is toilet paper” - thankfully, Tesco didn’t agree, nor did my electricity,gas and water company....and we continue to get paid in currency so we can invest here and elsewhere - absolute tosh - this guy has been posting the same garbage for years on the Internet - laughable
Hi Gertfrobe. What JPM actually said is "money is gold and nothing else" currency is toilet paper. ATB Speedy
Hi Peter. Sarfend boy me. ATB Speedy
Speedy, gold is money, everything else is toilet paper.
Hi Speedy, didn't know you lived in Ledbury.
I'm just along the road from you in Malvern Wells
Next time you drive into Malvern. look left at the John Goodwin for sale sign and the 25 grey decking steps and you will see my house at the top of the steps
Hi Gertfrobe. Not just Ledbury. ATB Speedy
Speedy, are you still buying up all the surplus gold coins in Ledbury?
Just a question has it been considered to move a processing plant closer , is that an option ? Might be a silly question but just wondered
Mushroom, yeah it may be considered as will trains both the rail and road type .. but I think we can safely say camels are out !
Ok Jaguar. I really don't know tbh. However, my point stands that it has not been mentioned by ncm which is intriguing.
Mushroom bamps calcs are wrong .. a conveyor could transport 20m tons a year !
