Scancell founder says the company is ready to commercialise novel medicines to counteract cancer. Watch the video here.
Titling a thread "bed wetters" is the very reason why no one in the whole spectrum of opinion on here should take the moral high ground as some appear to do. Many of those with misgivings about some of the process or the options ahead have held or bought more. I agree with those that want to see us generate income off Havieron (I would actually prefer this in partnership) and then develop other assets with an income stream
If he moves along would that make him an ex-plode?
I'll submit an ice breaker question for the next TH event or online Q&A whether SD might consider GGP gifting the "quality base of UK shareholders that have supported Greatland on its growth journey to date" a first pour commemorative coin
Toffers I hope you aren't on a large transaction fee per trade or with multiple small trades you are eating into your holding big time
So we could hit the ore body by Christmas in one of the better case scenarios with improved ground conditions and yet with something precious sitting in the shovel there might still be no official FS or DTM according to some?
If Newcrest is holding the vote in September I would hope that Newmont (in anticipation of a 'yes' to acquisition) will already be in a position to definitively state their own plans for Havieron. Recent drill updates should be loaded in the interim and surely the DFS must be in by early autumn. If there is any hesitancy on the part of Newmont once the acquisition has gone through then this is the time SD needs to kick off
Thanks for posting that Bellers (8.32). I intimated as much a couple of weeks ago when I said :
"As an explorer GGP have put some play on their community relations, ethical considerations and as both explorer and miner going forward their expressed intent to be as green as possible in their operations. There is an advantage here in as much as some of their senior partners carry a bit of baggage and given the additional scrutiny now being placed on all the above, GGP putting a line in the sand and offering a way forward that is "baggage-free" may be another reason why we are viewed as a good partner."
My post barely got a like or a sniff because there's a few who have me down as a wrong 'un. Re posters stopping the negativity, unfortunately by some everyone gets tarred with the same brush. Over recent weeks I've been more aligned to those who have continued to hold but have some disquiet over recent issues with the SP. It's lazy to infer that disquiet means that AIM is too hot to handle for us and to therefore take our money elsewhere. Many of us are seasoned personal investors. I still believe in this share and the prospects although confidence helps to drive the market and I'm downgrading my most optimistic personal forecasts until I see what effect the real drivers of the SP will have (eg stake in Hav, the DTM, future raise and timing of it, new discoveries etc). I am invested in the share now to the extent that a complete disaster would affect my life in retirement. Not disastrously so as my other investments remain on target, but GGP is the difference between a retirement without stress and maybe a few luxuries, or one where I have to watch the pennies a bit more. I averaged down along the way where my break even is 9p. I bought more in the 7's to do this but then when we rose back up to 9 I thought (wrongly - my fault alone) that we had bottomed and we're on the rise so I bought about 20% more again. Of course that has put me in deficit again with the subsequent drop. I'm not bleating or wailing about it, but it's perfectly reasonable to have questions and even worries. It's not to hot to handle, but like some others it's probably locking me in for longer and meaning I will have to work a year longer before retirement. Many other AIM shares I would have cut my losses but I'm hanging on for the uplift. I do get a bit tired though when so many of the apparent top circle here, the gatekeepers of the forum it seems, so routinely cast the merest hint of despondency as a red flag.
I've been interested the above discussions and would hope that due diligence by GGP will have taken account of all scenarios and will also be factoring in the likelihood of ongoing discoveries leading to future mining operations. I would also put out there one other factor; one that's not always appreciated in forums such as this. As an explorer GGP have put some play on their community relations, ethical considerations and as both explorer and miner going forward their expressed intent to be as green as possible in their operations. There is an advantage here in as much as some of their senior partners carry a bit of baggage and given the additional scrutiny now being placed on all the above, GGP putting a line in the sand and offering a way forward that is "baggage-free" may be another reason why we are viewed as a good partner. Expertise in pinning down targets with a degree of clinical efficiency is not to be underestimated and I think there is an opportunity to sell whatever developments occur (whether prolonging Telfer or not) as a greener way forward than might have happened were we not on board.
Drop* These blinking pop ups keep disrupting my text!
As unwelcome as the ro m 9 to 7 was there is a fair bit of reassurance in the interview. I continue to take the view that the SP not move massively until September onwards, however I remain significantly invested and have made two further purchases in the past couple of weeks and have added another 10% to my holding this morning.
Very best wishes to you Archways. With expertise and innovation there is hope to be found. You've seen it off before and that remarkable tenacity (without any sense of "why me?" I might add) will serve you well going forward. All the best
Corkscrew Colin It's when the original company with an interest who holds the licences and permissions etc effectively sells some of that interest for another company to buy-in. The buy-in company therefore shares the costs of exploration but also ultimately the potential profits
Aside from the farm-in news (let's hope for amazing drill results to come), the banks letter of support and extended flexibility is in essence a demonstration that GGP will mine Havieron and is not to be bought out cheap. To me this route to income generation when the FS and DTM finally comes was one of the niggling uncertainties that was causing jitters. Inevitably the SP will continue to ride a bit of a roller coaster but to me the bank letter provides the short term solidity while the farm-in, aside from providing the potential for big discoveries to come, consolidates the reputation of GGP as explorer par-excellance. Rio Tinto appear to be aware there is no one better to target and drill in this area.
Also filtered Toffers (although someone, somewhere will think I'm playing a smart one for acceptance 🙄)
What I have noticed with this board is that there are very obvious trolls and derampers who are that easy to spot I simply don't engage with their posts. Unfortunately there are also a loud few who will see no fault in how the slide in SP is being handled. They tend to lump the rest of us in with the trolls or supposed shorters as happened to me the other day. I believe there's a silent majority who align themselves much more closely with the likes of Tig, whose posts have had more recommends than most.
To be clear I have held and bought on the drop to finally break even just as the price rose to 9p. I thought that 9p was a turning point (I take responsibility for my mistakes), so I increased my holding by 20% at that price. Now I am in deficit. There will be people who say if you can't handle it then get out. Clearly some have. I'm not, but it doesn't mean that I'm not jittery. I still believe we will pull through and in many ways it's fairly critical to my impending retirement although if the worst comes to the worst I will have my head above water. BUT, my initial concern after the leak was how the institutions seem to be the be all and end all while us "quality private investors" as SD called us are feeling pretty overlooked. I accept that institutional buying will ultimately take us in to profit but even if those of us damaged by the drop in SP are wide of the mark, things should be done to address our concerns and to treat us with merit and respect. Give us an olive branch. I would apply that to people I mentioned whose narrative is so completely positive that anyone with a question or piece of information that doesn't bring good news is one for the bin. It's become a sport to denigrate honest hard working people who are holding, want an upside but in airing their concerns they are somehow beyond contempt
So predictable. You get owned over a misleading reply when Reuters, Bloomberg, The Guardian and others are running the story and so of course I'm in it with my mates. I sense you are a get the last word in type of fella. Or you could just crack on yourself and wear your mistake
You are perfectly entitled to that opinion and if you had dismissed the current investigation as irrelevant that would have been perfectly acceptable. Instead you flippantly passed off my reference as old news. But it wasn't. So you mislead in a rather patronising way and so you change the story to one of irrelevance.
It may well be but attack the right story don't pass it off as old. I would have thought it less than ideal that our current (albeit soon to be consumed) partner is coming under environmental scrutiny given how strong GGP have been on this issue. It may not end up having any bearing but I don't think me bringing the story to peoples attention is an irrelevance and as someone with a hefty stake in GGP in terms of % of portfolio it's not in my interests to knock our own SP (just in case you think that's my game). Get off your patronising high horse
It is facing a FRESH investigation (as of May 2023) on the basis that implemented measures have not been effective:
"May 22 (Reuters) - Newcrest Mining Ltd's (NCM.AX) Cadia mine in Australia's New South Wales (NSW) state is facing a fresh investigation over emission of dust and other pollutants, the state's Environment Protection Authority (EPA) said on Monday."
As I said I don't know whether this has any bearing at all on SP, but I would think it less than ideal that such scrutiny is being placed on them. This is a current story and therefore your initial dismissive response to my initial post was inaccurate.
Thanks for the rather facetious reply Trippy. I thought I indicated it may not have a bearing but it doesn't read as a 2018 story, but if you know different it wasn't mentioned in any of the current stories across several news organisations:
"The New South Wales Environment Protection Authority has launched an investigation into Cadia goldmine near Orange after local residents, including children, reported blood tests with high levels of selenium, nickel and copper.
In a statement, the EPA said Newcrest’s Cadia Holdings Pty Ltd was issued on Friday with a draft pollution prevention notice and a draft licence variation regarding the management of emissions of dust and other pollutants at the central west goldmine."
If this is old news and it has been dealt with then great. I read this as a current story which might be less than ideal
Drop in SP I meant to write (this flipping board sends pop ups mid typing!)
