Bamps - Re Apollo and Hav17 Mar 2021 11:15
Hi Bamps, you said: "Tongue in cheek :-
If Apollo proves up ok will NCM/GGP extend the Decline tunnel in the future to extract its minerals with a jv with Artemis.
Might sound daft but there will be tunnels heading towards the NW end of Havieron to probably stope the NW crescent.
Could also be true for Artemis other targets around the boundary:))"
On 31 Oct I posted: "If you look in the Artemis report at Figure 5 on page 9, they have placed what I imagine are the drill holes of Apollo and Enterprise W in Artemis territory but the surrounding Apollo and Enterprise W sites are clearly over the boundaries between them and GGP."
When Anne Lister, (Gentleman Jack), was mining coal in the 1830s from her Shibden Hall Estate, Yorkshire, her adjoining landowner {Christopher Rawson of Rawson's Bank } was mining on and across Shibden’s boundary, stealing Shibden's coal from a successful seam under Lister's land called Walker’s Pit. Rawson tried to purchase the land to cover up his wrongdoings [after he'd been found out], and Lister included the price for the appropriated coal in the deal. [Just for info, Rawson’s Bank became Halifax & Huddersfield Union Banking Co, was taken over by the West Yorkshire Bank, which was swallowed by Lloyds. [Bankers, hey?]
Now, while I don’t think such unpleasantries of accidentally linked tunnels would take place in Oz today, I think a JV is feasible but just how much willingness would there be for the calculation and execution of a 3-way JV from Arv, GGP and Newcrest, I wonder?
ATB:)
