On point again.
If big banks were lending to GGP, they would be even more insistent on practically vetting the new CEO.
Now that Blackrock, ETF's, and maybe bank(s) are significant shareholders, they will have had more say and sway.
On a personal level, I am sad to see Gervaise go, and I believe that he has done such a good job to date that he would grow into the job of CEO of a company that is partially a miner. His skillset in terms of being so personable and a good communicator are so strong.
However... he maybe just a little too personally attached - emotionally involved - and a more impartial CEO coming in will be more palatable for the larger institutional investors.
I do not believe Gervaise was pushed, but I think he has been convinced of the rationale.

A bit of a slow start today

I noticed that too - GH said they needed to interact with the ETFs and new investors to try to placate any concerns and then bring res 5 back via EGM or similar.

32m shares traded and we are back level.

I cannot see Gervaise going to Rio in the top post.
He has stated today that he is stepping aside to someone with greater mining experience - that is hardly a recommendation to take up the soon to be vacant post at Rio.
The only way Gervaise would go to Rio would be as a board position but not CEO.
More likely to join another junior, or just enjoy his hard earned.

The guy is offered option to purchase over time upto 5,000,000 shares at 25p each as part of his package - that seems confident to me.

Sorry to see Gervaise go.
Such an honourable individual, treated the shareholders right.
Thanks Gervaise.

Which, being the case, likely means tat 33p is the ceiling for the 'opening gambit'.
Let's see where it takes us.

Hydro could be right... again!
Good to see.
Thanks to all of the valued input Hydro, Paddy, bamps, AM90, etc. - too many to mention now (just like regrets, I had a few)

Well Hydro, US NYSE now open - let's see what effect, if any, that has....

Well said BtB
It becomes quite a skill working out who is giving a valid opinion and who is just spoiling for a fight - but it generally does not take that long for 'true colours' to be shown.
Then there are those who seem only to offer acerbic comments.
Equally there are some who seem to be overly exuberant - but you can tell it is just enthusiasm taking over.
Seems like we have a pretty good balance on the GGP board, with the usual spoilers turning up for short periods at a time.

Any idea how that translates into $ purchase value?

Strange that there has been no December RNS regarding take up of warrants.
Nothing of concern, just unusual.

Good that you feel able to share - best wishes are with you.
I hope that can get through these tough times and look to a better future.

How often/frequently do you think NCM will update the Resource Estimate?

Announcements are already running through

Is this still a duck, or can we now call it a swan?

It's late.
Does that mean it's a duster?
Has Havieron been a sham?

This a release of interim drilling results (not quarterly, half year, or annual).
Normally just news release via RNS to ASX.
No presentation, just information ,on paper,.
Usually Gervaise arranges for RNS and interview on behalf of GGP in the morning.

Maybe adjective used will be GALLACTIC, tipping a wink to Paddy.
