Grubber - You say: " Let’s hope that the JV RNSs show solid financial commitment in both scale and time, and that the Disko RNS sets out plenty of cold hard data to support the assertion the claim that Disko has “…potential to host a new world-class nickel deposit – analogues to Noril’sk Nickel District…”
At the 2020 AGM (​where shareholders were able to attend remotely by dialling in​)​, when Rod McIllree was asked about the relative size of JAY's assets, his reply was: "In terms of potential and geological prospectivity, certainly Disko is the one I think the most significant we have.” As for Rob Edwards, he knows a thing or two about nickel as he was a non-executive director for some nine years at MMC Norilsk Nickel (or Nornickel), the world’s largest producer of nickel and palladium. Since joining JAY, RE has been talking repeatedly about Disko being a district-scale Tier 1 asset. More importantly, KoBold's results from their extensive 2022 fieldwork announced in the RNS on 21 September 2023 confirmed the prospectivity of Disko with nine new targets, in addition to known targets.
Looking to the future, what I am expecting to see soon is an announcement of a meaningful drilling program at Disko in 2024 (e.g. 9 to​ 15 drill holes) followed by assay results soon ​afterward. If the lab results were to confirm Disko’s potential to host a new world-class nickel deposit – analogues to Noril’sk Nickel District​ - the share price would fly to dizzy heights in no time. Here is a recent example of how a share price can react to a stunning discovery. When Empire Metals discovered high-grade mineralisations last month, the share price that was as low as 1.8p at the start of 2023 hit a peak of 11.3p soon after the RNS announcements. This is an example of how high value in the ground can produce high value in the share price even before production begins - https://tinyurl.com/3dx6xmjh
This is what JAY said in the RNS on 21 September 2023 about Disko: "The results (from KoBold) presented in this press release are testimonial to the scale, number of potential targets and opportunity for discovery that the Disko-Nuussuaq Project represents. Discovering the next Noril'sk remains the holy grail for nickel explorers - we're confident that we are well positioned with the right licence areas, in the right district, to make a globally significant Ni-Cu-Co discovery at Disko-Nuussuaq."
Let’s hope Disko dazzles us all in 2024!
