RE: JORC upgrade drill and beyond6 Sep 2025 12:36
Good afternoon all.
Filterland: good questions. My take, please take as supportive and trying to be helpful, even it it reads too bluntly!
I’m not sure previous rig numbers, which I don’t know, are helpful now. The company has £2,000,000 at its disposal vs a shoestring budget in the past. They can afford more rigs on scene, and hopefully will have this in place. I simply don’t know how long it takes to drill the assay hole, sorry, big range quoted on google searches. Also don’t know how long it takes to assay the cores to JORC standards.
The involvement of the University team is interesting. They may well bring more expertise to decide where the best locations to drill are? What we do know is the market will be updated during the process, not a huge reveal at the end. This should help maintain interest and support the sp.
Going forward, it’s difficult to know if Rock will want to go it alone, JV, or buyouts of the company. Having a serious investor onboard gives us protection. Rock won’t be forced to accept low ball offers for JVs or buyouts. Any further funding will be at the market sp, not that I think this is necessary at present.
Please don’t take this last bit as teaching people to suck eggs:
Any buyout of the company will have to be an open process, subject to the rules and laws of takeover and mergers panel (I’ll check this is the right term) and company law of the UK. The bottom line is it’s us shareholders who will decide if we agree with the price being offered. And… other major mining companies may want to pay more… 🤑🤑🤑
Investing above £10,000? I’m going to sell shares at a loss to buy more here. Not financial advice!!
