Hi Freddie, don’t think we have any lithium, but I haven’t heard anything recently about the cobalt. That may come into play at some stage.
Good ammunition for us in the 5% discussion too!
As far as I’m aware, P.I’s are still the majority holders of stock. If a bid at say 30p were made, I wonder how may hands would stay under bums?
Speaking personally although that would represent a good profit for me, I wouldn’t vote for it. It would be interesting to see how shareholder solidarity held out ( if there is such a thing)
If a third party were to take over GGP I don’t think Newcrest would refuse to process their ore. They need it to keep Telfer running. Better to get tolling fees than pay decommissioning costs!
On this basis if there is a takeover attempt, I can see Newcrest then getting into a bidding war. This is all wild speculation though.
Thanks MFU. I usually lurk in the background but couldn't let that one go unchallenged.

Agree Spy, plus a ‘lowball’ offer would technically downgrade ‘NCM’s’ current 70% holding. Don’t think their own shareholders would be too happy about that.
Happy Xmas Bamps and thank you for all your efforts.
Here’s to a prosperous New Year for us all.

£1.44 per share that is
We need to tell any potential predators to talk to Mickey first. He’ll tell them £1.44 or no deal then it’s game on!
CCC - welcome. Fasten your seatbelt it’s been a wild ride so far!
Jiggle puff- if you hit the ‘GGP Share Price’ icon above and scroll down below the graphs the info is shown there. Can’t vouch for the accuracy though.

It always amazes me at times like this that at the time of writing and using info from the ‘GGP Share Price’ icon above, only 179 trades valued at £803590 (bought & sold) can wipe £24.3 million off the market cap.
Yes scraped some together for a top up too. Trying to look positively on it, it's the first time this year I've averaged down!
Only joking I’m a slap head really!
More interestingly - Here we go with your 3-6 posts '1 month old dodge account' you won't last long here, believe me.... Spreading FUD - fear uncertainty and doubt - over the bulk underground, because that's essentially the only unknown left that such disingenuous posts can target.
Last year we had months and months of tecnhical FUD with the GreenTool and others - who said Havieron would never be economic... but here we are 12 months later with a gigantic starter deposit, a $50m decline going in, and $50m GGP cash funding to DFS, and a published phase 1 mine PFS to take to the bank ... so NCM can get ore to Telfer ASAP.
You may be able to confuse and scare the un-researched with your manipulation, but you cannot touch Bamps or me.
For the rest of you MrBig is a skilled and devious operator who last night was attempting to exploit an ostensibly clever argument. The posts were subsequently removed this am. For the correct reasons.
What he/she was trying to do last night was apply NCM's conservative, underground stoping phase 1 mine operational costs @ $84/tonne - actually $81/tonne according to GGP using the correct exchange rate to Bulk Underground production.
The first Stoping operation has naturally has lower volumes, due to the inherent volume limitations of the Stoping technique and higher costs - ore transport to surface limitation, requirement for drill and blast / explosives, and extra material handling, and subsequence labour in back pasting costs )
But you cannot apply this to the anticipated Bulk under ground block caving grades of the larger scale deposit where the cost per tonne would be circa $25-27/tonne
This is a totally and fundamentally inappropriate comparison made by BiggL - It's like comparing two completely different company cost structures, AND specifically designed to imply that anything under 1.5g is likely to be 'uneconomic'...
And It's total BS becuase we ALL know that Cadia is economic down to 0.4g/t Au... specifically due the bulk efficiencies of the operational costs.
And very much like comparing and interweaving the cost structure of building Ferraris directly to Ford Fiestas -
IE both make massive profits, BUT in TOTALLY different ways . Obviously You cannot make a profit building Ford fiestas in the way you build a Ferrari though. That would be loss making.
That's the best analogy I can come up with. And that is the tactic of this poster. Always Happy to smash them into touch.
Expect Multiple shorter accounts with a very obvious agenda.s
Regarding bulk underground : The only question is will this be a block cave or a more selective sub level cave...? Anyone with mining nouse can see that.. The grade in those breccia

Well I've bought more and it's hurting - the other half's found out!
Bamps/Paddy/Goldworm/Hydro - your enlightening discussions below represent everything good that we should see on this board, especially for non-geo's like me. Long may it continue!
Welcome back hydro.

Hi Jerry,
An interesting post. I think any bid (if one were made) on the lower figures you mention would stir the other big boys into action and it would prompt a bidding war.
Also, as alluded in an earlier post, GGP has a very high PI base. As long as we hold firm it’s unlikely a ‘cheap’ buy out could happen. The big question in that case is at what level do hands come out from under bums? Speaking as someone who was averaging up and buying in the 30’s I’ll still be sitting on mine!
Cheers
CF
Thanks Paddy

The only thing he didn’t say was ‘buy GGP’!
