Member Info for Bamps21

I see someone has posted that RNS on Hotcopper as Bamps21 that isn't me I don’t post on there at all

Chris I'm sure you will enjoy it 🙂

Hi troubles glad to hear from you.

Thanks Autumn take a look on that link there's "grainy" image of the west dome area the low grade is on the left of the pit it's huge will take many years to remove that. They've started sample trials to find the optimal process requirements.

So PVX you are telling people to ignore the satellite information and just listen to Shaun interviews.

Those days of interviews have gone they are very rare now, the quarterly ones with Liam are gone, ones with Sunday roast are few and far between. To say we should only to these is total nonsense.

The satellite images have been an important tool for us on this Board and have given us so much from the last 6 years. You have sprung out of nowhere criticising my knowledge following Elements comments yesterday which I found very underhand.

Quite obvious you don't understand what this transition is, I don't understand why people don't ask questions about it to me or whoever before desecrating known facts.

The transition to Havieron ore was always going to be a tough programme of works your remark was very naive.

The transition I was referring to was from the high grade Stage 2 which is nearly gone and (can be seen from the satellite and published source) stage 7 low grade ore transitioning to high grade over time

I use the satellite images as a tool in conjunction with published sources doesn't matter if they are grainy you can see here how I do that:-

You can see the thousands of views these have had.

I use facts not hot air synopsis.

That comment is even worse than the last one.

There are no night time images you know that.

Putting the images together with the published information is very relevant to knowing what to look for.

Logging off bye

I will ignore those comments about the satellite grainy images, that was a very weak argument from someone who has benefited hugely from mine Strudels and Paddy's satellite images.

Hi Hopefully

Thanks for explaining the reasons behind the shutdowns. I also had 4 other folk contact me about the weather and other issues.

It did affect my low estimation at the time and was a surprise to see the result come out at 82koz.

My estimate 45-50koz and I wasn't that far adrift, I can hear all the scoffs at that but looking at the latest production table I believe there to be around 30koz or so unexplained where they came from.

My thoughts went straight to the ROM high grade. Just over a million ton was used. I've been following that on the satellite images and that came from east of the leach dump then seemed to stop.

30koz from the 82koz is 52koz which was higher than what I could estimate from the mine plan. Not a lot of that came from Stage 7. Last years MRE images clearly show inferred ore right at the top in a small zone in the middle and on the left hand side patches of indicated and inferred. Standing on the top of the saddle the benching drops away both sides 35m down to the next bench, this has all gone most as waste to the new mound area, some of the inferred to the dump leach and indicated to the ROM pad.

The next bench down is wider and contains a bit more inferred. This surface would be too small for more than one of those big machines to work there.

The main ore ounces came from a patch in the centre of Stage 2 in the base of the pit, where they infilled drilled at 12.5m spaces. Most of this has gone as can be seen in the image of mined areas.

The other area was halfway up the western benching not long ago they were drilling it. They've called this Stage 8 but it's outside the mine plan, so they've cherry picked the reefs in the side of the pit, this indicated material can also be seen on the MRE. I'm not sure how much of that has gone. All waste above that area.

My estimate didn't include for that Stage 8 or that zone of high grade in the base of the pit, this can be seen in the drilling cross section of the pit

Using 1+mt from the ROM would need a grade of 1 g/t to get 30koz which is reasonable but you couldn't use all that in one go. It would have had to be blended with the weak ore from the pit to lift the Head grade going through the plant. This can be seen comparing last quarters with this one

Overall you can see its being micro managed very well, all hats off to Simon Tyrell whose leaving Telfer in a very good state.

The challenge with processing stage 7 Ore is that it is oxides, this plant was converted to sulphides. I'm not sure how they are processing them together, stage 2 base is sulphides.

You can see where I was coming from the transition in the next few quarters will be challenging with stage 7 coming on line and low grade integration.

Looking forward to next Tuesday to the Malvern meeting , there may be a couple of spaces if you still want to come. Check out the thread on Ggpchat. I'm off for another break.

I don't really give a monkey's what you think of me.

I never said I know everything you've put that in my mouth.

My estimate was on the low side but was correct from where I expected it to come from. Look at the mined ounces and the ore mined there's a gap in those figures that have not been explained.

This is a transition period for Telfer production from stage 2 to stage 7 and high grade ROM to Low grade stockpiles this is a tough period and if you put your head in the sand and hope it goes away then more fool you.

I've always been super positive with this company where were you hiding when I was telling everyone all the positives about it. I stuck my neck out for you lot and I am getting abused for it.

Too many naive posters here at the moment.

You see someone like you doesn't really know what they're talking about. You have no idea where the ounces were coming from. I knew what ounces were likely to come from that mining plan, what I didn’t know was that they went for high grade pods outside of the mine plan to make up for the ounces lost in the shut downs. People say they didn't but they did.

Instead of sniping at me get yourself to a meeting and find out for yourself what I can do instead of sitting behind a keyboard sniping at people and putting abusive headers up.

No decency left in people

I can see the same images that most people are looking at, but I can see more than most can.

Which is why my Presentations are well attended you can learn a lot.

I do have some great photos to show 🙂

That was a smug comment, I presumed it was aimed at me.

He's one of the main men you fool

That news is a bit of a blow

Artemis old licence next to Havieron

See here :-

https://www.ggpchat.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=7168#p7168

Artemis have released it

Hi TT

Yes they've applied for about 75% of it

Hi TT

It's the Artemis licence all around Havieron

Only a week away from the Malvern meeting, if you haven't ordered your food yet please contact Rotherby asap.

Emphasis of my talk is shown here:-

Looking forward to meeting you all 🙂

Well according to the activities report the works to the conveyor decline accesses has already started.

"Development mining: Mining recommenced with extensions to the ventilation drives and access progressing towards the conveyor decline. Mining is currently being undertaken on a single shift to take advantage of the existing machinery and people on site to allow progressing critical path development ahead of approvals."

I did ask Shaun a question about how they were getting into the Decline but he refrained from replying. They are using the machines already down there.

Hi Bellers

You are looking at 3 different contracts ie Telfer, Havieron and O'Callaghans they would have to prove they could resource all 3.

The Decline at Havieron at 4m per day is around 10 years work, that's for just the starter mine.

O'C might go to another firm.

There were originally 1200 people at Telfer, at Havieron maybe 4-500 will be required. O'C may have similar.

I showed my slides to Roger and he said don't add anymore in that's enough. I said I'm only halfway through 🤦

There's so much potential still, it's going to be difficult to squeeze it all in on one Presentation .

Regarding the "gap" I know we've been told there is no gap but that's not quite the word I would use it's more of a transition from one phase to another and how smooth that is. It will be bumpy.

FY26 stage 2 and ROM ( stage 2 base of pit is nearly gone , ROM around 2mt left)

FY27 stage 7 cutback and low grade stockpiles

Stage 7 cutback is on the Saddle the footprint is small until the 7 extension kicks in, the new machine will just take over from an older one . It's weak ore some going straight to the plant some going to the dump leach.

Low grade stockpiles have low recovery rates.

FY27 will be weaker grades until stage 7 gets lower into higher grade pockets maybe 12 months I'm not sure on timing.

They have been cherry picking other areas outside the mine plan, they've drilled them and removed to the plant to keep the head grade up, this looks as though this will be the plan going forward until stable grade ore is achieved in stage 7.

It looks to be micro managed very well.

Only my opinion.
