This in an extract from a document that was at the time (1995) confidential, from NCM to the Department of Minerals and Energy, Period ending 31-12-1995
In summary, at Havieron, the 1991-1992 and 1995 drilling has succeeded in demonstrating the likely presence of a Large Gold-Enriched mineralised system hosting, at least in part, moderate-grade (10 - 15 g/t Au) + sulphide bearing hydrothermal breccia and vein type mineralisation, albeit beneath +420m of post-mineralisation cover. Given the high degree of difficulty of locating high-grade (20 g/t Au) structurally and lithologically controlled zones beneath such thick cover, it is reccommended that exploration of this prospect be deferred (but not forgotten) until other shallower targets in the Ankatell project area and the broader Telfer district have been tested.
So it looks like they already knew back then what was at Havieron. It does make me chuckle to think back then that they thought 15-20 g/t Au was only moderate grade and nothing under 20 g/t Au considered high grade. Oh how times have changed.
This document is 215 pages containing all drill hole data that was done on all the prospects around Telfer including

I think this document would be right up Bamps's street. LOL
I have it in PDF version, but don't know how to send it via LSE if anyone wanted to peruse through it. It's a long read but very interesting. It even shows you metre by metre the results from the drilling logs at Havieron.
Hi Spades - install drop box and upload the file - publish link on here using the usual changes so it doesn't get deleted.
Hope that helps.
Cheers StellaBob
So, is it simply that technology has moved on enough to enable us to solve the puzzle that couldn't be solved back then?
Gold price has to be a factor too.
SaS very interesting.
Love some of the names of prospects I’d not seen before.
Punchimup
Hairyone
Hi Spades
Yes I’ve been referring to it many times, Paddy gave me a copy, there’s no email link that I know of.
Is it just me or does the sky seem that much bluer and the sun that much brighter this morning?
I might even rush outside in a minute singing 'The Hills are Alive' like Julie Andrews and Holden Hairyone at the same time.
mark - I suspect "punchimup" is a tongue in cheek recognition by Newcrest of the aboriginal language, although somewhat distasteful in 2021 given the great strides companies are going to in recognising the rights and traditions of indigenous species.
The suffix "......UP" means "place of". I have regularly visited WA in recent years (not since late 2019 though) and have come across names like:
Cowaramup - believed to be derived from the Noongar word cowara, meaning purple-crowned lorikeet;
Joondalup - "place of whiteness or glistening"
Cooloongup - "place of children" etc
lebugue-addick
My son lives in Karrinyup in Perth -Karrinyup is an aboriginal word for "where bush kangaroos graze "

Hi StellaBob I hope this works

I think that has worked. That'll give some of you guys enough information to digest over the weekend.
Have fun : )))))
Thanks for sharing the document…..time to get into the weeds.
Hi Spades... Great! Thanks. It's worth other GGPers noting that up loading to Dropbox is an excellent - and free - way of sharing files, pdfs and photos as w e all know LSE doesn't have any facilities for this.
Really enjoyed today's discussions. I recommended ggp to a HNW friend when we were around low pence but said we could always get taken out at 16p... And here we are today talking about £££££ Hahaha
