Very quiet few days here. I wonder what "new" faces will appear when the Beaufort spivs get their money back?

Cheers for that confirmation, I was wondering why posts were missing.

You touched a nerve eh?

You were right though. As I said in reply...." 'investors' probably avoid his two companies, but the short term pump and dump spivs love them.

They probably dump their personal or payment shares into any bit of liquidity!

Woody, I would have gladly left it alone after my first post or after my reply to builder, but you both kept playing the man so I was not going to leave that shit slide.

Beat of luck to you all trying to interpret results when they come out. You know there's a reason they list these projects on aim as opposed to asx right?

Oh and dshox, it was you that was confusing things last night just fyi. Your post made little sense.

Please point out where I used the term "core drilling" that you are so keen to point out is technically incorrect? Every company uses a slightly different variation for the same job. Are they all incorrect too?

I was really trying to keep this simple for you all. God help those who can't figure out what diamond drilling is meant to be when spoken of alongside rc drilling, on an internet forum which is for a junior exploration company, on a thread which was talking about.....drilling.

Nq, pq, hq or 4c would have caused any less confusion alongside rc?

There is money at stake for folks who use these forums. Most would try and use the time constructively and open themselves to a bit of learning, rather than write about ten posts trying to cover their mistake and slamming the person who pulled them and others up on it.

Almost since I posted here, trying to give a shot of realism to those clowns who were saying anr had millions in the bank, permits and rigs secured, and here's the kicker.....they'd have a dfs drilled out in two months!

Well those two months are well gone, almost three times over.

No drilling yet? Permits? Dfs much? Naww, didn't think so.

Hope you all remembered those who were abusing the system with their shyte talk and don't fall for that kind of nonsense again.

You're off your rocker mate. Admittedly you were on this last thing at night and first thing in morning!

Fyi - asx time. If you knew anything at all about this game....

I'm done with you. You're clueless and full of your own nonsense. Good luck. You're going to need it.

Anyone in any doubt can just ring any drill co up and ask them one simple question - core, would you associate that with rc or diamond drilling?

Or maybe just have a look at an rc hammer bit and then a core barrel, save the price of a phone call.

I was more than polite mate.

I would hardly say distinguishing between rc and diamond drilling is showing off any sort of wonderful technical expertise.

This is a junior explorer. If one can't tell the difference in drilling techniques, stick to the ponies.

That's some polite friendly advice to all reading.

Did I reply to a marengo drill thread? No sir, I replied on the thread I was posting on.

This was a discussion on drilling and geology, not fruit and veg, so you can keep your pineapple analogy for another day.

No need to help me out either mate. I've logged tens of thousands of metres of the stuff. I'm quite confident I know what it is.

Oh, and Woody, argumentative or just telling the truth that those with their head in the sands don't want to hear?

I'll leave that one with you.

In layman's terms, a section of core is a piece of intact rock, not something smashed up into millions of little pieces. If you lift core, that is exactly what you do. You don't lift core as chips.

Maybe spend less time worrying about me, and more time thinking about what you are typing. So many posts trying to play the man to deflect away from the error. Comical.

Builder12 gets it.

Best of luck to you all.

Who are they in this situation? There is no onus on anybody to buy tshipi from its current owners. A small part of me thinks that is why the divi is so good, cash out quick before a chunk may get nationalised or whatever term you want to use.

Jupiter was a bargain buy on the secondary market for years. Nobody wanted it. Then they relisted on asx. The price has dipped a small bit, but the share is showing no signs of life.

As you point out, it's a nice dividend. Good quality, long life asset. There must be an issue somewhere.

Are there any Chinese on the jms register? Did they ever show an interest?

Course they have a choice. To buy or not to buy. What's that?

Most would rather leave it out of their portfolio than add. Manganese wouldn't be at the top of everybody's wish list would it?

Too much turmoil in sa to try a London listing I would say.

6 - south Africa

You're welcome builder. Well done for doing so. I can't recommend enough the importance of having some knowledge on this matter - if not, I would say stay the hell away from investing in junior exploration stocks. You will lose your money eventually. If you look at the end of asx drilling or resource announcements, they give a table of methods used etc. That's a good place to find terminology and methods used etc for further research.

1) each metre interval is logged and bagged separately. These are not accurate metre intervals though. Eg. A drill string is 6 metres. So some crews May just gather a huge pile of chips for that 6 metre stretch, and then divvy it out into 6 heaps. Even if you keep an eye on the depth of the hole as it is being drilled, metre by metre, by the very nature of the way the chips are returned to surface, you can get cross contamination of the chips (weight, lithology, grain size, depth, casing can play a part)

2) hole diameter is on a case by case basis. Depth of hole and aquifers are the main consideration.

3) rc is good for scouting or first-pass drilling. Once you get a solid sense of the geology, and are able to predict where your veins or target zones are, you can then use a combination of rc and diamond. Eg. Your target zone is say, 250m to 300m. You would then normally rc to say 240m, then diamond drill to the end of hole. It's brilliant in that sense (3or 4 days saved), provided you don't accidentally rc drill your target and have to redrill the hole! Geology can be a fickle mistress at times!

Woody - dam straight I "jumped on it". Maybe think about folk who have less of a clue, newbies, reading these forums, and see dshox with his 7k odd posts. He must know what he's talking about right? This must be a good "investment" right? This isn't just a few lads intentionally posting misleading information to talk up their book right? I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt on the last one, for now.

Snap out of it with your ego nonsense. If you knew the error yourself you should have corrected it, unless you are complicit in a greater pump?

Dshox - mineralisation can often by missed/misplaced when logging rock chips, for a variety of reasons. There is a reason rc is cheap and somewhat cheerful.

Diamond core is king. Shows up definitely what is or isn't there. Hence the reason to distinguish between rc and diamond drilling, and to never confuse the two.

And there was a 3rd rec while I typed that piece out.

Madness.

Dshox and the 2 people who recommended your posts - you all may want to do the most very basic research on drilling techniques. You do not get core from rc drilling.

I'll say that again, rc drilling gives gravel type chips to surface.

Diamond drilling returns core to surface (barring any f ups)

Lol. Keyboard stock promoters eh!? Makes you wonder....

I watched the proactive one where Andrew met Andrew Scott no kaintz.

Watch him spluttering and farting over the whole premium met coal...but some of it....the majority of it (all of it?)...power station. But we can avail of...in the future...new markets.....premium...but still supply some (majority?)..power station.

$45 a ton.

It kind of is a big deal if rgm aren't withdrawing any cold hard cash out of the joint venture.

A public listing is the end goal there. They have to grow and add to the asset base, big time. That can't be done for free....let alone find the money to repay the loan in a few months to boot.
