NT to buy. I've had my final final top up many times with Xtract but Colin keeps on making me want one more! Will keep on trying...

Interesting find Cygnus. That is a large amount of copper.

Although AA Australia are currently focused solely on coal and Manganese in Australia, I would imagine they are keen to diversify if the opportunity arises? It is a completely different team to AA Peru and remember AA South Africa got rid of its coal operations via Thungela recently. Having had a quick look at AA Australia jobs, this is the second time I've seen they are trying to hire a Geologist with knowledge of IOCGs and other metal deposits.

My personal conclusion is that although they are trying to diversify, I'm not sure they have the knowledge or intention to take on BR currently.

No worries iceberg, my eyesight is terrible. Contact lenses mean I don't have the glasses excuse for typos at the moment!

Agree with you iceberg but think you also might have meant 17. Anything in 14 will indicate mineralisation in the south east.

Anything in 17 will extend the JORC. Drill starts on the edge of current boundary and goes 700m into the wilderness/no man's land...

If you could just put that 500k back in now please it would be very helpful. Thanks!

Gotta be an 11am RNS! Too much news in the pipeline. Cheeky assay and a hole finish I reckon.

We bought out prospect ore but still have the buy back option. AA will always have that option no matter who owns the tenement...

Happy birthday CB. Keep up the good work old chap (maybe not today though) and let's have a target of giving yourself a wonderful, expensive 79th birthday present.

Why is it always cantor? Have they got an intern managing Xtract?

Thanks lucky. Very deep one which makes a change. Should be interesting if very deep mineralisation

Vented my frustration at confusion on the drill plan on another thread....perhaps I should have just checked here. 22 is extremely deep then hence it looking very short. This BB can be very helpful and knowledgeable at times. Thanks everyone.

Lucky,

I'm actually a bit confused about the drill holes where 17 and 22 start. One goes East and I think from the previous drill plan that was confirmed as 17. On the current drill plan there is a 100-200m tail going west. Is that a mistake? Then there is another line joining 22 with where 11 started.

I must admit I'm beginning to think the drill plan is a little too crowded and if I'm getting confused by it - and I've spent at least an hour or two staring at it over the weeks - then the average Joe PI won't be able to make much sense of it.

CB, if you're reading, perhaps it's time to move to a 2 page map, one for the JORC and one for southern drills. Or just zoom in a bit so it's easier to analyse. Thanks!

Iwantthatone, you are absolutely right that this might not get to the heights some (including myself) are predicting. The easiest exit strategy is hitting the 2MT and AA are interested. If both are true by end of H12022 then we are cushty. If both are false, then we have confusion, delay and inevitable dilution.
Fortunately, the way things are going with the drills spread out across an area of 1500x 600 and greats runs of mineralisation, coupled with CB's assurances that there are 2mt, makes me think that won't be a concern. The only thing that we need to be careful of is the previous JORC at 0.44%. We may not quite have 2MT at 0.44, most probably 2MT at 0.3% and quite possibly 3MT at 0.2%. God knows how much we will have at 0.15%. It's definitely something to think about going forward...

Thanks Monty. Looking more and more likely that one of the majors will want BR and will pay a pretty penny for it. 20 year mine life? How about 50? In a supportive jurisdiction and starting deposits 12m from surface. What's not to like.

Hole 13 and 14 are the difference makers in this phase imo. Everything before them is just consolidation of the open pit/slight extensions. Hole 13 will give a hint. 14 is the big one into the SE.

Unfortunately haven't made the AGM despite being off today and London based, as needed for childcare. Looking forward to some feedback later. Hope CB is on form again today.

Agree Dibs - I'd rather we sell 5574 (I'm not sure you can just sell Racecourse) and explore the other 4 licences to check for more porphyries. 5574 is the licence with the buyback option anyway.

Sq, it's almost like CB is asking us to join the dots...is it too good to be true? We shall find out before the year is out if it's as big as he and many others think.

I think I mentioned a while ago my most exciting holes and 14 was the most exciting. It doesn't even start within the JORC and it goes on for 800m into the unknown!
13 will give us some idea as it also heads eastwards but 14 is the first one to the south east.
That must have been a positive result for two reasons. One, it goes on for 800m and two, they are exploring the area further!
Hole 17 also to the north east is a very exciting hole. Bring on the assays.

Thanks CE, very helpful.
Rob, am just focusing on getting in then can go from there!!
