Like many, I have friends and family invested here asking on my thoughts on the future of GGP as the year closes as many of them have now been invested around a 12 month timeline so sat on a capital loss, so thought I’d articulate what I’ve been discussing with them, hopefully again, helps some here :
- Havieron itself has massive growth potential from it’s existing official resource estimates, it’s going to get much much bigger and reflect this officially through studies and resource/reserve numbers that can be quantified and utilised for attracting investment, obtaining financing etc. - officially may I add again - something that really matters
- The PFS was for a ‘fraction of a fraction’ of the ore body i.e a section of the SE Crescent which is a section of the overall ore body, over time there will be graduating studies after the FS and from my understanding during production that continue to expand the operational capacity and resource estimates, including the Eastern Breccia and bulk mining fronts which looks more and more likely to combat for even the most ardent detractor. Quite likely that Havieron will be running far past the time many of us have left this mortal coil.
- The fact is, we’ll be shareholders through GGP in potentially the 2nd lowest cost gold mine globally, I mean - globally……with potential to decrease these costs further down
- Our partner: Newcrest is one of the world’s largest gold mining companies, obviously focusing on Tier 1 low cost operations across the world, they are leading experts in the very techniques required to mine Havieron and like many majors focused on displaying growth and longevity to their own shareholders
- Intuition tells me the Eastern Breccia is going to grow in size just as we saw Havieron take shape from a few holes to forming a half ellipse to a full ellipse and then seeng the pockets fill up and overspills as evidenced in the exploration reports (using very very simple terms!). Obviously if you’re able to build a 3D picture in your head it’s far more complex than trying to envisage from flat 2D images so I appreciate some are struggling to comprehend as we all have different brains.
- Newcrest have 1200 staff with highly valuable experience at Telfer that they absolutely want to retain and they will do everything to avoid a gap between Telfer’s rapidly diminishing output and Havieron’s production commencement to retain them, once gone, the best would have been snapped up by other companies in a massively under resourced sector desperate for personnel, services and equipment
