hi 944t
He is the office not been there long.
I spent many years in the CIOB committees around the Midlands and have met a lot of very nice people

Hi 944t
Markey, south side of Gloucester

Hi Frank
I research a company quite a lot before I buy in and spent about a month reading up on Ggp normally I would spend 2 or 3 months. It was too tempting at 0.6p and was still tempting at 14.2p. I don't have a target price there are too many very good assets in Ggp and any one could be a company maker.
I don't believe they will be taken over, the majors can see the value in the Ggp team and more than likely keep buying assets from them.
I don't feel I need to look for another miner and may not need to anyway:))

Hi SA
When Ggp first took over the Blackhills a licence team was sent out and found gold on the surface, that sparked initial excitement .
The following surveys had small effects and then the Newcrest joint venture overshadowed everything.
Goliath is a high priority target but it's not first in line.
To put the joint venture in context it's best to look at other joint ventures , the one between Antipa and Newcrest is an eye opener of how good the jv is at Havieron for Ggp.
It makes Ggp very special and for looking at other stocks they may have big assets but have they got a major in a hurry.
Ggp is a one off, a once in a lifetime share.
In 40 years of investing I've never seen anything like it and probably never will again and probably won't need to anyway.
ATB:))

I know everyone is chomping at the bit waiting for the Scallywag drill results but Blackhills is still our number 2 licence. Even on the updated map there's a big red dot on Blackhills 'Advanced Project ' same as Havieron. Saddle reef has mineralisation at surface it's ready to go.
Drills have found gold , high gold rock chip samples, good MMI sampling.
I'm waiting for Parlay drilling, high gold target.

I'm still holding on to the few TW shares I have left, the thought of all the Bryant shares I used to own whittled down to next to nothing due to recessions.
That was a well run company except for the miserly salaries , the share schemes were fantastic.
There's a piece on IG news about how it's best to invest in small companies in a recession and this recession has certainly proved correct for me, my portfolio is way way ahead of this time last year.
I will only mention another company if I believe it will profit me and people I know.
A lot of friends and family followed into Ggp and very relieved they've all profited, I knew they would but didn't realise how quickly it would happen. I can't say what the final outcome will be but sold all my Hsbc and shoved it in there at 14.2 still expecting 2x 3x 4x it can happen, on an adrenaline run at the mo.

Hi Tig
I did know a lot of people in construction before retiring but can't say I remember that name. My lad is in a construction firm in Gloucester I will ask him.
Spent many hours outside the Air Balloon stuck in the traffic :)) that's why I went Stroud way. It was a bit run down last time I went in.
ATB:))

hi Tig, Mush
I think the George you mean is top of Birdlip, yes great views of the Malverns.
When I was building Cirencester council offices we used to go to a pub on top of the hills above Stroud on way back to Worcester. The Swan don't ring any bells

Hi mushroomkid
Is that pub on the Cirencester road still there on top of the hill, I had a good time in there :))

I think God must be in Scallywag cos 'God knows what's there' :))

Looking at the length of strike 6km x1km that's a fair size.
The various samples show a lot of different metals/minerals maybe not as high concentrations as Havieron but certainly over a larger area.
GH remark about the high arsenic content and don't discount it cos it comes with it's own suite of metals.
I wish now I had taken more notice of my chemistry lessons:((
Arsenic can be found in it's natural form either grey, yellow or black.
It's the grey that is must useful , mixed with lead to produce an alloy in car batteries.
Arsenades come as salts
Arsenides have a range of different compounds where arsenic has joined with other metals.
Some are useful
Aluminium arsenides are used in semi conductors.
A lot of the others can determine what processes are required to extract the metals.
Nicoline or Nicolite is a combination of Nickel and arsenic and the best way of extracting the Nickel is to mix it with more Nickel then the levels of arsenic can be managed.

Arsenic is also found in chalcopyrite 'the gold/copper source at Havieron.
The grinding process is less of a problem with an aresenic content but the floatation process does as the arsenic dissolves and then the roasting process causes serious dust issues.
These processing plants like Telfer are built to manage these issues as arsenic is nearly always present with most metals.

I think Scallywag will be producing a range of metals maybe not high grades like Havieron but possibly a lot of them

Back to try and find my chemistry set :))

Thanks Paddy
The drills do seem to be following the line of the copper samples found in the MMI survey.
The highest one >350ppb is to the N of KRA003 .
The other high concentration of copper samples are at the South end of Blackbeard and in the SE corner of the licence which I don't believe they are drilling at this time.

There is an historic drill TEA08004 shown on the Kraken cross section centred over the coincidence between the 3D magnetic survey and the IP survey, but it doesn't look as though it went deep enough to hit the centre of the high charge ability zone.
Looks like KRA002 is testing that.
The copper samples found on the MMI survey look to be running NW -SE through Kraken with higher grades on the peripheral of the Kraken zone.
This could be what 001 & 003 are targeting

Hi MrEcm2
I've been looking at the MMI survey and the Residual Gravity survey and there is a target to the N / NW of Kraken.
On the target are 2 sites with 200 ppb copper and to the west 1 site with >350ppb copper.
That's probably what their after

Hi Tmt, Nige
Sorry bit edgy today after a few years ago of having to get out of Barclays share account due to their reorganisation, I'm having the same now with Share centre being taken over by ii and the fees are doubling.
I don't want to go through another transfer experience, still can't get rid of my Barclays account due to Carillion being stuck in it that's £4 month after nearly 3 years through there inactivity.

Best deal I've seen elsewhere is Hsbc in which I have a normal acc
oh the trials of owning shares oh woe is me :))

Hi Tmt
The trouble with house builders for me they like green fields. I would prefer them that way there's a limited supply of green fields left, whereas the UK at the moment has an endless supply of empty offices and shops. Youngsters don't want to live out of town . I know the government have been looking at town centres and what needs to be done but I believe they need to pull their finger out and give the builders more incentives to rebuild our centres and disincentive green field building especially the ones with cheap designs.
My rant over.
Thanks for your explanation of the GDX rules was not something I was familiar with
ATB :))

Hi Tmt, Nige
Zoopla announced that house prices will hold but I suppose that depends which part of the country you live. Nearer to City centres prices may drop as people want gardens, suburbs may rise.
With all the ifs and buts I'm just holding on but Psn price tempting to sell and get back to Novacyt after their news today.
As far as miners go I'm very cautious lost so many times and your Yca uranium not for me. Ggp once in a lifetime share, Jlp recovering tailings is growing steadily but don't mine ( I don't recommend the BB), Alba are high risk and I sold out but should have stayed , they have the Welsh gold mine just starting to come good and I am waiting for a fall back in sp.
Each to their own though regards investments
ATB :))

Can you put these processes in order to produce 99.9% copper
1 Matte
2 Ore
3 Copper Cathode
4 Copper Anode
5 Blister
6 Copper Concentrate
7 Fire refined copper

Points will be deducted for googling :))
I got 5 out of 7 and yes there is an obvious trick question

Hi Tom
I'm not guilty for that rubbish maths
25x10 km = 200
:)))
I think they mean 50 sq km is over the borders although it does state wholely on the licence. Ok I'm still confused:))

Hi Chris
I think that may have been me and then Tig picked up on it.
Havieron has also a high Cobalt value but way overshadowed by the gold.
Interesting fact if the Uk were to meet the carbon free date of 2050 it would consume all the worlds supply of cobalt

The Blackbeard target is 6km x 1km
Most of the MMI sampling surveys seem to have been taken at both ends along the Western Edges. Most seem to contain copper grades lower than what was seen at Havieron but that was rather unique. It's the area and depths that intrigue me as it's 6 x larger than Havieron which should more than make up for the lower grades.

6 square km though is dwarfed by the Cobalt anamoly at Panorama at 200 square km that's 33x larger

Sorry i'm Bamping again :))

Hi Flashy500
The Rose should be more quiet after this 50% thing is finished , you would be welcome to join us as we are in there most Mondays for a meal
