'Baz, I would not wish pneumatic 'air-legs' on anyone. Have seen enough of African miners laid on their backs holding them with their feet! '' When they do that in Africa, they are not using the 'air' leg. I have never seen anybody lie in their backs using them in UK mines. 10ft shot holes are ok with these and I have seen them used on whinstone here.A short drill can be used where there is not enough room then a long drill to finish off.As I said, I am old school.If they were breaking the drills with the rig then they were using them wrong.The boom should be rammed hard against the face before proceeding to drill. I mentioned the rigs purely due to the length of it. I am sure they know more than me.

lol , I noticed it after posting, should be 10500. 10kg and a wee bit for the driver.

'Maybe GD might buy it to join #1!'' GD might have to sell the one he has got.

Design throughput =3000tonnes/month x low grade ore at 3.5gms/tonne =105000gms .So that is your 10kg no bother .If only.

Good morning all you good people. RH, I agree with you but what gets my goat is that this should not be a revelation to SGZ.The state of play underground has been there to evaluate for years and it was/has been evaluated. Were they telling us lies? or were the previous peeps super incompetent?.I don't know how steep these ramps are or how tight the turns on them but that drilling rig thay showed on the telly did not seem suitable to me. Compressed air jack hammers would be my choice (mind the white finger).But then again I am old school.

HH, it was said tongue in cheek.But 1 oz of gold in 11 years is nearly nothing. I get where you are coming from HH but you have not been ground down yet. They already knew the gold grades on the stuff already produced.It was lower but still good enough to run through the mill and turn a profit.He said yesterday that the mill/plant was now running so why not run it through?.The hard bit was getting it out. Why the new man went on Proactive investor to say nothing is very puzzling indeed.To crack a joke about the weather being good was insulting to all interested parties.We all live in hope but it gets harder as time goes by.

'Things might not be going the way we would want at the moment, but you can't say nothing has happened.'' ------ oh yes I can.

'I was happy to give SGZ until 2025 to see where it would get to..'' HH, the trouble is ,a lot of us said that in 2010.

yayay, the £500k is in the bag.The refinancing they are talking about will be over and above that.This is a serious blow here.Over on the other place, vfb and colliwobbles have not had a verbal jousting match with pr100 since February.They have retreated .That tells me a lot.I said earlier in the year that sgz had nowhere to hide and that it all had to work this time.I really thought their time had come and after the hiccups were ironed out it was all systems go.RG fed us all a load o' horse manure.The new feller has his work cut out here.

Reminds me of a newapaper cartoon character when I was a boy. Useless Eustace.

Google Money has the end of play at 303.60

investors generally are a stupid.... most of them are.... never happy with 20 pence dividend.... they want more and more and more.... 20 pence a share is really good.'' where are you getting 20p from? certainly not here. 3.75p x 4 =15p'

Eck ,the lower grade ore has been accounted for and has a high enough grade to be profitable otherwise it would have been dumped. There is 6 months production lying around, they are not going to ignore it.If the plant is working to spec it can manage 3000 tonnes per month. This should yield roughly 600 oz. per month, 150 oz of this should end up at the jewellers. Not allowing for premium prices this plant should throw off £750 k/month. If the quality is crap then they have got their sums wrong.We shall find out. Ps, as I said the other day,don't look for experienced miners for £24k per annum.

'for somebody that really doesn't look like a typical collar and tie or anonymous grey suit type of CEO'' . I thought that Todd Hoffman had got the job.

Phil Day, told us nothing at all.He mentioned that we had been running ok for 20 days but no mention of au recovered.I find this astounding and worrying.. 20 days production at a miserable 2t/hr ie 20 tonnes per day ie 400 tonnes ore should have realeased at least 80 oz of au in one form or another.

Bellers,I believe that the cut off point in the ore is 3.5 gms./tonne.With that in mind what have they been bringing out?.

'I have always been grateful for NLR's involvement''. I have said this before and will say it again,NLR was suckered into buying into this outfit.He fell for the spiel and I bet he is rueing the day he got involved here. We are following the path of the BPT where it finally got chugging along turning rock into dust and very little shiny stuff.They blamed the stock pile for being well below expected grade. This is the same grade that they are mining now with the same result.If it is now working as they say, where are the goodies out of the end bit?. In fact, where did they find the 1oz in November?. I said the other week that I thought Cononish would chug along and pay the wages but I am not so sure about that now.

I see Marshall Badza has worked in South Africa,Mozambique and Zimbabwe, the same as myself.I wonder if he was known locally as Big Bad Badza.

''the MM are loading up at sub 300p as much as they can ... so am I.'' Why is Meghan Markle buying BP?
