It looks like getting going on the second vein was a complete falsehood.
Will the company ever be able to hold a face-to-face shareholder meeting ever again?
Normal service on the board is one thing but normal service from the company is completely unacceptable. There won't be a Scotgold if they don't turn the ship around quickly.
"A good idea stays a good idea."
The fight will garner massive publicity worldwide and we could benefit from that. The mentality of those who have commented is difficult to comprehend. We produce something very similar to what the winner WILL get. We absolutely should make the most of the opportunity that affords.
(Ironically enough I'm against the fight taking place! If your life is in danger or your country is being invaded, then possibly, but to step into a ring with the sole intention of battering someone until they are incapable of continuing seems insane to me.)
Yawn.
That the company "have made a total **** of the operation for a number of years" is surely beyond debate. A catastrophic failure for 12 years. If criminality was involved let the dice fall where they may.
"...and there is no gold to give away" That's just silly. I've never visited the mine (lol) but surely we can rustle up enough gold for a medal! Production cost, engraving, a tartan ribbon, postage and some exchanges with the (lying) media.
Other companies WILL manage to benefit from Musk v Zuckberg and we quite literally are in the gold medal position. It's the kind of brave gesture that these guys would have taken to build their businesses.
You calling it ridiculous is neither here nor there. x
..
Anyway, we must be close to Q2 results. It's nearly a year since the good and very positive RNS. lol
I wonder what MM saw as worthwhile investing in a few months ago. Will the July RNS reveal all? Do we have a future?
Did the company call in the services of a pest controller?? This board's twitter overseer's mole seems to have gone remarkably quiet.
Musk v Zuckerberg
Maybe they do but that's not a good reason for the company not to do it either.
What will the winner likely get hung around his neck? A gold medal. Agreed so far?
It is a brilliant idea for that medal to be a 100% pure Scottish gold medal, donated by Scotgold.
Well, you'd better away and change your nappy.
There hasn't been a single post yet explaining why Scotgold, for the production cost of what they are already producing, donating a pure Scottish gold medal to the winner of the Musk v Zuckerberg fight is a bad idea.
Not one.
Musk v Zuckerberg
There would almost certainly be gain for Scotgold but not through telling people that they're on to a winner here Rodney, or that it represents an investment opportunity: not at all.
The winner WILL get something. Why can't we be first for once and donate what the winner will have hung around his neck?
Any interest in the company is a byproduct of our donation. The gold medal is the story - not the investment opportunity the company might represent. (lol)
You call it a shameless marketing ploy. I rather think billionaires would recognise it for what it is: entrepreneurial genius.
A 100% pure Scottish gold medal to the winner.

Musk v Zuckerberg
bbb- you are looking for difficulties and complexities but there aren't any.
One more time: the idea does not involve asking either of the two guys for anything! Are you being deliberately obtuse?
Scotogld to donate a pure Scottish gold medal to the winner.
That's it in its entirety. No pump, no dump, no approval or backing sought......nothing.
Simply a donation of one of our (unique 100% pure Scottish gold) products to the winner.
Musk v Zuckerberg. A pure Scottish gold medal to the winner!
Twitter has picked up on the idea. This goes viral and it's anyone's guess how high the share price goes.
https://twitter.com/insighttraderhq/status/1676330454918524928?s=42&t=08fuZUaKq_w2bM6Pi4TBvw
If the company actually gets of its backside and does it then the sky is the limit.
Scotgold management - sharp business antennae have picked up the idea. What have you done with it? Were you focusing on having equity for trans people working in the company instead? Or running HR Karen's courses on how men engaged in labouring underground should behave differently?
For the production cost of gold you are already producing you can redeem yourselves.
Musk v Zuckerberg
I'm not sure what you are talking about and it makes no difference anyway.
Shareholders have endured 12 years of miserable, miserable failure. Long periods of share-price stagnation interrupted only by cataclysmic falls.
My idea gives the company a unique opportunity to secure investment on a scale previously undreamed of:
Scotgold donates a Scotgold, 100% pure Scottish gold medal to the winner.
Work smarter, not harder.
Don't let this opportunity pass us by, Scotgold.
It helps us because Musk and Zuckerberg are red hot property at the moment: everyone wants, metaphorically speaking, a piece of their action.
For better or worse that's how the power of celebrity works.
The idea of Scotgold donating a gold medal to the winner starts getting discussed on social media and watch the price fly.
If Scotgold actually does it and we get a "thanks guys" from either or both of the two protagonists and as I wrote earlier, it's stratospheric time as millions of people buy into the idea of owning a bit of Scotgold. Heck, we might even have enough capital to start Phase 2 which has been promised to us for years.
A gold medal to the winner goes back to ancient times and we can "just do it". A widget to the winner? Not so much. Unless you know of places where that's a thing.
No one is asking you to support anything.
Nowhere have I suggested that we look for Musk to definitively promote the company or anything like it. Are you being deliberately disingenuous?
Scotgold to donate a gold medal made of pure Scottish gold to the winner. That's it. Nothing else.
Social media will do what social media does and that should be phenomenal for Scotgold. That would suit me. How about you?
Correct GZ.
Any number of companies will be looking to hitch their wagon in some way to the event and we literally have the gold medal on that front.
And if Twitter gets hold of something like: "Some @scotgoldresltd shareholders are apparently asking the company to donate a pure Scottish gold medal to the winner of the Musk v Zuckerberg fight" even that would cause a significant interest in the company and would surely affect the share price very positively. Just saying'. ;-)
If we go ahead and do it, and either or both of the two protagonists acknowledge the donation, we're talking stratospheric.
Scotgold - do not let fear of massive success hold us back on this. Thus far, you have lost well over 90% of the company's valuation.
Add to the tweet a photo of one of the impressive Scotgold coins with the stag's head and antlers and BOOM!!!
Reasonable first draft here - it doesn't need much else. No layers of complexity to be added.
@ElonM @MarkZ
Gentlemen,
Greetings from Scotland, the home of the clansman warrior!
@ScotgoldResources will donate a unique Scotgold gold medal to the winner of your upcoming cage fight. The bespoke medal will be made from 100% pure Scottish gold, mined from the beautiful, rugged landscape of bonnie Scotland.
No strings attached - only a tartan ribbon (smiley) to hang the medal around the victor’s neck.
Good luck with your training and for the event itself.
* phenomenon
lol
Lol. Don't know but he'll be having withdrawal symptoms....itching to tell us the inside story of Monday's rise.
It's a unique opportunity for Scotgold.
Sure, there's something in the Scottish psyche not to think MASSIVE but the company should embrace wholeheartedly the opportunity to get onboard the marketing phenomena that is Musk and Zuckerberg.
Opportunities like this come but rarely.
Losing the plot: if there's a downside to Scotgold Resources offering a gold medal made of pure Scottish gold to the winner of the Musk v Zuckerberg bout, spell it out. You won't beat about the bush if there is a downside - we've both been here since the dawn of time - but there isn't one.
I know about such things and if the idea had come from Jennifer Fotherington-Windsor-Smythe working for a boutique creative agency in Mayfair, people would be salivating at the idea.
Costs: production cost, some engraving, postage, and a nice tartan lol ribbon so that the Scotgold medal can be hung around the victor's neck.
We'd also need a decent pr campaign to make sure the various media picked up on our unique offer but if either Zuckerberg or Musk saw our tweet offering the prize and responded that would take care of itself.
Imagine! "Thanks guys!! I've always loved Scotland and hope to visit one day soon. Any chance you could run up a silver medal for my opponent? There ain't no way he's getting gold."
Upside? Absolutely incalculable. You'd have devotees of Instagram, Facebook, Meta, AI, Tesla, rockets, MMA all taking note of Scotgold Resources - and the normal press where we've had some decent coverage before. Boy, did we let that go to waste?!
And the Yanks LOVE that sort of thing - a Scotgold, pure Scottish gold medal from yon bonnie banks of Loch Lomond (close enough) in Scotland would be the most fantastic story.
A mining company being at the leading edge of the zeitgeist would also be a massive feather in our glengarry.
Don't waste this idea Scotgold Resources. What possible downside is there? The upside as I wrote above is incalculable.
I repeat - I know about these things.
Anyone from the company reading this PLEASE consider this and then just do it! Similarly, anyone with contacts in the company please make sure this idea is seen.
Scotgold should get in on the Musk v Zuckerberg fight by offering a Scotgold pure Scottish Gold medal to the winner.
The two protagonists do pick up on offers, for example, from experts offering to train them and any expression of gratitude from either or both would seriously put us on the international map.
The scrap has caught the public's imagination and SGZ would get seen and noticed by millions of people. Heck, the two guys might like the company so much they'd buy (a bit of) it.
Don't waste this unique idea, Scotgold. Another gold producer will doubtless seek to cash in on the fight if they can but if we act now we can be first. And Scotland does have that warrior / clansman / claymore-wielding Braveheart reputation.
(Could we also offer a Scotgold silver medal to the runner up? We're always strangely quiet about what we do with our silver.)
I'm 100% serious and hope to see the offer on Twitter very shortly and before some other company nicks my idea.
We're still big in Bangladesh but nothing very useful.
