Hi Glasir
There are 2 ways to make concentrate:-
I haven't studied the consistency of the solubles in the rock but a lot will go leaving mostly an iron sludge with few grains of gold .
One ton of rock could = 1 t of concentrate if there were no solubles but I would doubt that happening.
The grinding process grinds the rock to sand size particles and is quicker than panning but some of the rock and gold is lost as dust, so 1ton of rock would not make 1 ton of concentrate.
I hope that answers your questions:))

Hi RC
Happy Googling:))

Hi Aidin
I don't think it's to do with the mass or being heavier, it's all to do with how long it took for them to cool, so magnetite and would cool down quicker and solidify quicker, whereas molybdenum and copper are some of the last to cool down and go further .
Tin on the other hand melts quickly and flows fast and maybe found in all sorts of vein sizes and in all the cracks and faults.
Cerium and Lanthanum in their separate state can be cut with a saw but when they're part of an ore they're heavy.

Scallywag might be different to Goliath in the Arsenic content, are Ce and La linked with it in Gasparite and not Monazite I'm unclear on that one, but it could be the reason why GH said don't dismiss the arsenic as it's a pathway to finding gold.
I am also unclear of the arsenic quantities at Goliath.

From the MMI surveys Kraken and Goliath certainly look like granite intrusions to me.

I've been invested here since the start of the Stellar days but got out just over 12 months ago, missed the big rise here but had better one with Ggp.
I've bought back in with just a few.
I sold out mainly with worries over the oil and I'm still hesitant .
I'm really keen on this gold field and the Ilmenite but they have spread themselves too thin in my opinion. I would like to see them crystallise some of the assets.
The oil seemed a quick way to cash flow at the time, but now a hindrance for investors.

This gold asset looks good, totally different to Ggp as the gold mining techniques are dissimilar.
I'm really interested how this is going to develop.

Part 3
If tin is formed with granite intrusive rocks what other clues are there for mineralisation at Goliath.

Well 2 more are shown in the MMI results Ce and La
Cerium and Lanthanum these are Lathanides and do not come on their own.
They are normally found in Monazite.
Monazite is known more for where it accumulates instead of where it forms. It forms during the crystallization of igneous rocks and during the metamorphism of clastic sedimentary rocks. When these rocks weather, monazite is one of the more resistant minerals and becomes concentrated in the weathering debris. The soils and sediments found near a weathering outcrop can have a higher concentration of monazite than the source rock.
Monazite Mineral Group
Mineral Chemical Composition
Brabantite CaTh(PO4)2
Cheralite (Ca,Ce,Th)(P,Si)O4
Gasparite-(Ce) (Ce,La,Nd)AsO4
Monazite-(Ce) CePO4
Monazite-(La) LaPO4
Monazite-(Nd) NdPO4
Monazite-(Sm) SmPO4
Rooseveltite BiAsO4

High specific gravity 4.6-5.4

Therefore Sn ,Ce and La all point to there being a granite intrusion.

Relating that to Scallywag it too has Ce and La

While “gold concentrates” sounds like one of gold’s chemically modified derivatives, it is in fact, natural. Better known as “pay dirt,” gold concentrates are sourced in two different ways. The first is through gold panning (or other techniques that use gravity separation). When panning for gold, the objective is to separate the particles of dirt from the heavy particles of gold. In most cases however, gold is not the only heavy material in the pan. This end result of the panning process is the gold concentrates – which must be sifted through manually to extract the bits of gold. Gold concentrates tend to be mostly iron, so they are also known as “black sands.”

Gold concentrates are also made by grinding down ore, quartz, or other productive rock types into sand. This procedure is much faster and easier than panning, but the tradeoff is a final product that has less gold “concentrated” within.

Most gold concentrates don't contain enough gold to be suitable for the refineries but the 20g/t seems to be ok for the company to deal with.

Gold concentrates normally have the water removed to make transportation easier to the refiners

Goliath Tin part 2
Only 2 mines in Western Australia mine tin, Greenbushes is one in the south, which is only one of only 2 tin processing plants in Australia.
The tin at Greenbushes started mining in the 1830s in a tin rush, just before that Napoleon asked for ideas to preserve food for his troops and one came up storing in glass bottles. It was an Englishman though that developed the tin can and started the tin rush.
Greenbushes tin was mined in open pits where underground tin rivers were 'dredged'. Today 2 companies are there one Talison Lithium just mines lithium and the other is after Tantulum (Ta) 'Advanced Global Metals', both private companies.
AGM produce 7 different Tantalum concentrate powders of which a % is Tin oxide and they produce tin as a by product from these powders.

Goliath doesn't appear to have Tantalum from published information so it may have tin ores called
Cassiterite (SnO2) tin oxide is by far the most important tin ore, although small amounts of tin are recovered from sulphide minerals such as stannite (Cu2FeSnS4).
If there is a lot of tin at Goliath it may need it's own production plant at $21,000 a ton it should be worth it.

What clues are there that could help us see what's at Goliath.
The MMI results have picked up Sn or tin.
This is a description of tin deposits in Australia:-
Tin occurs in both primary and secondary deposits. Primary deposits are typically associated with granite intrusive rocks which form when magma bodies cool (solidify) beneath the Earth's surface, rather than on it as in the case of volcanic rock. Primary deposits can occur within the granite or within pegmatities or aplites associated with the granite. Deposits occur also in rocks surrounding the margins of the intrusions as veins, disseminations, skarns or carbonate replacements generated by tin bearing fluids derived from the granite magmas. Carbonate-replacement deposits form some of the largest tin deposits in Australia.

If there's tin in the soil then it looks like there is evidence of a granite intrusion.

Tin is rare in WA.
More than 85% of Australia's economic tin resources are located at the Renison Bell deposit in Tasmania, a primary carbonate replacement deposit. This is Australia’s only significant producer of tin. Other Australian mines include Greenbushes in Western Australia, and deposits in the Herberton/Mount Garnet are of north Queensland.
Price of tin is around $21,000 per ton
Other uses besides tin plate, bronze alloys:-
Tin oxide is used as a white glaze on pottery (including tiles) or glassware, and can be coloured with other metal oxides.

Plate glass is made by floating molten glass on a bath of molten tin while it solidifies, giving the glass a very flat and polished surface.
In biocides (such as wood preservatives and disinfectants), making dyes, plating baths, making perfumes and soaps, making plastics (especially as a stabalizer in polyvinyl chloride), strengthening glass bottles, in toothpaste, in veterinary medicines, church organ pipes (lead-tin alloy), cast iron, fire ******ants, pewter (mostly tin, with antimony, copper and lead), and used for beer tankards, candlesticks, salt and pepper shakers etc, dental fillings and tinsel (60-40 tin-lead alloy).

Early MMI survey at Havieron picked the cobalt mineralisation at over 4,000ppb.
Putting that in context most of the worlds cobalt is found in the Congo where the highest ever recorded value of cobalt was over 6,000ppb.
Due to global pressure on companies like Apple and Google not to use cobalt from suppliers in the Congo using child labour in the mines the price pressures on cobalt are increasing . Forecasts are for $100,000 by 2025.

Ggp called themselves a Gold, copper and cobalt exploration company in the early stages of Havieron but the cobalt identity was removed.
It is now a gold and copper exploration and Development Company.

I still have expectations of finding cobalt at Havieron even though it is not being reported by Newcrest.
From what I've been researching it could form a sixth of the copper tonnage around 200,000-250,000 tons @ $40,000 per ton.
Cobalt is normally found with copper and is the last of the processes in refining . After the copper electrolysis all the other minerals left over fall into the bottom sludge, this is dried and smelted and cobalt anodes are formed. Electrolysis then forms the cobalt cathodes .

Ggp licence Panorama up by Thor's licence holds 200-250 sq km with high cobalt readings and could be the largest cobalt field in Western Australia.
If cobalt always comes with copper then how much copper is up there.
The gold to the north of the cobalt field is a different mining technique to Havieron and is a Paleo-placer gold field

Hi Paddy
I'm not too convinced that the fault lines are drawn on accurately on those plans.
The one at Outamind shows it going through it which it doesn't it's
more towards Goliath and then heads southwards.
Can you see the 2 spurs off Goliath north and south. The North one has a fault line running through it if it's accurate.
The mag survey follows roughly the same plan as the gravity circuit.
The other spur to the SE and the southern spur I believe end on the fault line
ATB:))

Hi Paddy
Have a look at this map showing the fault lines
https://greatlandgold.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/PatMagTen_05-08-20.jpg

ATB:))

Hi Paddy
Thanks for doing that.
Tom put up a regional map showing the fault lines recently .
This plan shows the fault line running through Tara running SW to those drill holes.
Another fault line to the E of those drills runs from the S of Henryetta into Antipa land and then up passed Prefect to Los Diablos.
This has changed things around we could be the nearology play now.
I hope they've drilled more than 200m as that seems to be the cover at Prefect and Atlantis
ATB:))

Cobalt prices are rising
cash $37,995 per ton
3 months contract 38,000
15 month contract 39,555

Up $7,000 in last 6 months may overtake the copper revenues at Havieron if it keeps going like this
Copper down a bit at $7856

Hi BtB
The issue with Telfer at the moment is room for more waste rock dumps and more tailings area.
The issue is not pressing for a couple of years while Havieron mines the High Grade ore and Telfer is removing the last of it's resource.
When Havieron starts to bulk mine which you could be looking at 4 years, Telfer may be depleted and the large open pit can start to be filled in and the tunnels back filled with tailings mixed with grout cement. If it's not depleted there could be an issue.
Scallywag production could be 5-10 years away so the waste issue maybe sorted.

Paterson Range East I don't believe will use Telfer, reasons :-
Ggp had 4 main targets
Goliath, Atlantis, Los Diablos and Prefect
Outamind was a secondary target.
Newcrest come along and Outamind is pushed to the front of the queue.
Outamind and Goliath are close to each other.
The tonnage that would have to be moved would be vast.
Outamind is smaller first to production
It's a prime spot for a new processing plant.
ATB:))

The more I look at the 2 surveys of Goliath, that is the gravity/mag surveys the more I'm convincing myself it's much than I have previously stated.
My assumptions on size are based on the cross section which runs roughly NW-SE and about 3.5km in dia at 2,000m deep and this was for both surveys = 14bn tons.
Looking at a section N-S is a real eye opener.
There's 3 spurs off the main body the total length of the gravity survey is around 6km and the interesting thing is the magnetic survey plan seems to follow the same shape.
What does this infer well, most of these spurs to the North and South look like coincidences.
The third spur to the SE is a weaker anomaly but there is another interesting point about this spur and the Southern spur they are heading for the major structural fault.
I've had a rough stab at the tonnage calculations and it looks considerably higher than 14bn.

Hi Peter
Well done.
I hope your doing ok.
I bet you're glad you didn't go into BPC it's lower now than when we left
ATB:))

Hi Zoros
That was an unusual statement from that write up.
'The inferred resource is mainly copper'
I would have said 25% copper

Hi Scottie
Yes it's a virtual tour.
She took me on a virtual bike ride through the City on Youtube that was really interesting and no hassle of traveling to get there. That was part of Open House London.
I found a virtual stroll around Blackpool on Youtube :)) What a come down especially when he says wow look at that a testing centre in Lidl car park:))

Hi Quitefrankly
I'm not a shorter either I prefer to research and hold but if you watch the 2 I've mentioned you can make profits at the moment. I wouldn't buy Ika till they come back down but I do get nervous of losing out.
At the moment Ggp is a top up time :))

I'm not much of a trader and I wouldn't know where to start with Ggp, I can never be sure of which way it goes, but I can see ones to trade and got my lad on it.
Itm was a perfect example last year up and down about 6 times from £2.40 to £2.80 but I got nervous and stopped my lad carried on and missed the rise to £6.50.
The same is now happening with Ika they've been twice up to £2.50 and back down to £1.70. Now on way back up.
Sound Energy bouncing between 1.3p and 1.7 rapidly.
Keep topping up here with profits but waiting to get caught out :))
