Well I Bamp a lot so I could be a bamper:))

I met a couple of other Ggp investors in the Rose & Crown , Severn Stoke last night. The place was fully booked with the 50% off and the garden quiet cos of the rain.
I'm still not sure of what Covid rules apply to meeting up with friends but to get 2 tables last night would have been a tall order

I'm not too sure how far NCM or Rio are going to expand their areas of interest they both have a lot of options.
My question with the Paterson region is it too big for 2 majors to cope with . Will the other majors make a play at some point.
What will tempt the majors is something unique, on a big scale and on good terms .

Ggp have these tempting items and one that still sticks out for me is the Cobalt area on Panorama, just needs drilling, 200 sq km within their licence

Hi JJ
The only thing I found worrying while on NCM website looking for Telfer is the waste areas, from memory I think 6 were full and now on single heap. Maybe they will lift the dam walls to another level.
At Cadia they have started filling the mine with the waste but Telfer mine is not finished so that can't happen yet.

The water used for cyanidation after filtering and cleaning is reused as much as possible.

I think Rio are really ploughing on with exploration on the jv with Antipa, I can't see them wanting to concentrate on another exploration project well away from Winu.
Ggp seem to have a good relationship with NCM and probably will expand that to other areas.
NCM jv with Antipa is on quite a large area so whatever Ggp find on Scallywag has to better the Chicken shack mine at 1.6g/t to tempt them to prioritise the Scallywag project and also Parlay .
Parlay on Blackhill looks to be partially sat on the Antipa licence jv

Hi Torham
It's just not the production of copper concentrate but the huge costs in waste management which makes another plant unviable.
I'm sure NCM will take ore from any source to keep Telfer viable

I noticed on Paddys overlay image showing the drill locations the first one Kra01 is not on the Kraken bullseye target but to the SW. It's not on the Kraken cross section.
Kra02,03 are on the bullseye one in the centre and one on the edge.
Must be loads of secondary targets other than just the main 4.
I haven't heard of any drilling happening on Blackbeard at this time , it's so big maybe a drilling phase on its own later. Best chance for the copper bulk mining according to the MMI sampling.

Hi Nige
I take it you know about GXDJ I've never heard of it before. You can never stop learning:))

Hi Tom
That one had a pop at me one time, he never posted anything of use.

Hi TT
I'm not with you on this point. If at any point in the past Ggp had stated they had not found any materialisation or being non commercial the price would have gone down.
The rock chip samples at Blackhills had boosted the price.
Also due to Covid the drilling plans are about 3 months in arrears and we would have had all the results by now.
The appointment of a new broker and the price of gold has dropped has also added to downward pressure at the mo

Hi Mfu
NCM have changed their drilling plans a little and will be targeting deeper levels from the surface instead of later from the Decline.
The NW and the New Breccias zone still need dimensions confirming, if you look at section 5 on the web site the depth keeps on going down.
The 2 unknown arms of the crescent looks as though they are following the shape of the original ground gravity survey and looks as though they are going to join up. The HGZ at this point is getting thinner and not so deep.

Forgot this bit
Section 5 cuts through the New Breccias zone showing it going down and down, so looking at the scale of it approx 100x100m x c1000m at around 1g/t = 1.06m oz
:))

I've been looking at the cross sections of Havieron and Scallywag.
At Havieron there were 2 historic surveys a ground magnetic and a ground gravity, also there were 4 historic drills , 3 were just outside the magnetic survey and 1 just inside. Only 1 hole came anywhere near the centre of the coincidence of both surveys.
GGP's first 4 holes are all in the coincidence of the surveys.
Cross sections 1 and 2 traverse SW to NE
through the coincidence. There are 6 drills to the SW on these cross sections and they have been stepped out in order to hit the High grade zone at the right angle through 400m of cover, it's nothing to do with a new zone in that direction and they're outside the coincidence.
The Breccias look as though they keep on going down below the HGZ and seem to be widening .

The Kraken anamoly has an IP survey cross section and a 3D magnetic model overlaid on to it. The coincidence looks very strong and I would expect the drills to be centred on it.
The coincidence doesn't look deep but they're saying on the web site it has a deep magnetic structure similar to Havieron but the IP depth is limited.

Blackbeard cross section shows the IP survey with 3D magnetic model overlaid .
It's a long structure and shows 2 or 3 coincidences but more importantly the 3D model looks very deep way below the IP survey. I believe a 3D magnetic survey can reach depths of 1400m.

London is a different geology and no section but sounds deeper from its description.

The MMI sampling surveys have indicated mainly copper, I think the high grades of Havieron will not be found at Scallywag but the bulk tonnages could be enormous.

Hi Ben
That's our Tom for you, they soon kissed and made up, wasn't much. There are a some aggressive posters around whether they would say it to your face I don't think so. I try to ignore things or debate it , our Tom jumps in with both feet sploosh :))

Hi Q
I've heard there are 2 stations in Wolverhampton.
This chap decided to go and visit his family and friends in Karachi.
The ticket office didn't know where that was so gave him a ticket to London and ask there.
The office in London couldn't help either so sent him to Dover and ask there.
The man in Dover didn't know either and put him on a boat to Calais. They didn't know either , well after a month he finally got there . He asked where all his friends had gone and was told in the UK. Dejected he decided to return home.
He arrived at the Karachi ticket office and asked for a single to Wolverhampton.
The chap behind the counter said is that the high level or low level station.

I bought an advent calendar from Tipton and when the kids started opening it the tears were running down their cheeks.
I asked what the matter was and they said 8 of the windows were boarded up. :((

oops too much Brandy :))
Meant to say are you a posh Brummie or a normal one and not a yamyam.
My wife is from A****s Green and thinks she's a posh one, doesn't sound like it though :))

Hi Quepensa

Hi Chester
I have agree with Tig good post or was it a good brandy:))
One little tweek it's a 6 year joint venture which they have squashed probably 4-5 years into 14 months.
They have the right of first refusal on the other licences on Paterson within the joint venture agreement, whether that means if Newcrest complete their commitments early will they still be able have right of first refusal, I'm not sure on that

Hi Ben
I always used to ask sloppy workers "where's your can."
"Can of what"
"Can of finesse, all good workers have those in their tool kit"
Blank looks

The pie I had there were horns coming out the pastry :))

Hi Redleader
When I moved up from Somerset many years ago I had a house at the top of Walliscote near Pedmore, before moving to Worcester.
Did you ever go into Balds Lane tavern, I had no hope of understanding anything and did they take the mick out of my accent:))
