George Frangeskides, Exec-Chair at Alba Mineral Resources, discusses grades at the Clogau Gold Mine. Watch the full video here.
The Little Deer Copper Project hosts the Little Deer and Whalesback copper deposits. On June 22, 2011 and July 26, 2012, NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimates, which were undertaken by P&E Mining Consultants Inc. ("P&E") of Toronto, Ontario, were announced for Little Deer and Whalesback, respectively. P&E estimated that Little Deer contains indicated resources of 1,911,000 t at an average grade of 2.37% Cu (99.8 million lbs. Cu) and additional inferred resources of 3,748,000 t at an average grade of 2.13% Cu (176.0 million lbs. of Cu). P&E estimated that Whalesback contains indicated resources of 797,000 t grading 1.67% Cu (29.3 million lbs. Cu) and inferred resources of 443,000 t grading 1.57% Cu (15.3 million lbs. Cu). On a combined basis, Little Deer and Whalesback are estimated to contain indicated resources of 2,708,000 t grading 2.16% Cu (129.1 million lbs. Cu) and inferred resources of 4,191,000 t grading 2.07% Cu (191.3 million lbs. Cu).
This reads exceptionally well but clearly further drilling and exploration required
Good to see the sale of assets confirmed and another $2m in the bank to fund the turn around
Evan3020, with all respect Toby Bradbury and the directors are running a company and not a share price. Patience required
Good news and another $1-2m a year from the calcium carbonate royalty expected
Grounds for optimism perhaps, as the seller didn’t offer 30m shares in the closing auction as they did yesterday
Delayed them 3 weeks ....was mentioned at time of the acquisition
After a very good RNS it’s a shame to see the recent gains disappear. Travelling and arriving is an old stock market adage that remains true today. I’m here for the long term and whilst those here for a quick buck may have sold I’ve taken the opportunity to add to my holding. The news today de risks the company and enhances its investment appeal. Lets also forget the various conspiracy theories involving MM’s and institutional investors colluding against private investors ....laughable We’ve probably seen traders and speculators exit the stock that were here for a quick buck ! Orosur is a better investment today than it was on Friday
Hi Cornish
You’re better off submitting any stamp claim to your broker as they collect the duty and remit it to HMRC on a quarterly basis.
BYW thanks for your very insight on this one .....appreciated
Please don’t ignore the private investors and why did you not run a concurrent open offer for private investors ? Without our support over the last six months you would have been raising funds at 0.2p. I do hope either you or your advisors read this and reconsider your approach to private investors!
Shame the private investors haven’t been given the opportunity to participate. That asides it all looks extremely sensible and these additional funds will enhance prospects going forward and will massively de risk the business model. Will add further stock on any pullback today
Luke, TBH I think Solgold has shown excellent ESG credentials to date. If we talk about hypocrisy then surely the failure of ESG investors to recognise that the move towards a lower carbon future and the energy transition cannot even begin without the sustained efforts of the mining’s sector to discover and mine those metals essential to the whole decarbonisation process. Now that’s hypocrisy !
Easy to see why NM was demoted as clearly he was leading the company into an area he has little credible knowledge or experience. He’s certainly great at mineral exploration and achieved much in his time running the company. The appointment of experienced new directors have made their mark and the formation of the Alpala committee was essential to judge and establish if current plans were appropriate in a mining world so focused on efficiencies and costs. It’s a massive blow to us all and certainly the company has lost face with this setback. However going forward the the company can now take more time to adjust the project to focus on higher grades and lower capex and this will hopefully deliver NPV and IRR upside. All prudent in the longer term but clearly a short term negative. The reserves are there and that can’t be disputed and hopefully a continued drilling campaign will add further to this. The passing of the additional FNV funds is most intriguing and suggests another narrative is possibly running in the background. ?
I remind myself of the expensive and extensive due diligence that has been carried out by BHP, NCM and FNV and with this in mind I’ve added to my holding. At a time when BHP are having to potentially scale back significantly their copper mining activities in the atacama desert next door in Chile due to water permitting issues/licenses, Ecuador and Solgold may hold the solution. Today’s news is disappointing but it’s not the end of the story and thankfully the committee did their job and have begun plotting a more sensible course of action

Optimus I totally agree with your sentiments on the new subdued language being a result of the change in boardroom dynamics. A sensible coherent approach that confirms their adherence to higher level of corporate governance
Having spent 35 years on both the buy side and the sell side of the market the idea of stopping stock lending by putting a limit on your shares will have zero impact. Counter parties such as State Street and BNY Mellon and other will continue to lend as many GGP as you can imagine. GGP is highly liquid and will never be regarded as being classified as “tight”. I’m long of GGP and have added more down here as a point of clarity
Don’t underestimate the fall out with hedge funds from last week’s shenanigans. Hedge funds have a balanced approach, they don’t just short stocks and they’ll have plenty of long positions. Given the Macro attractions of miners many have been long the sector including juniors such as GGP where it’s liquidity has been attractive. The dash for cash last week ultimately affected GGP and others. Whilst State Street has few funds one of it’s main function is to act as a service of institutional assets. It’s prime brokerage function and depositary services to hedge funds are huge. The monitoring of their position will prove to be misleading as beneath the “holding” you find numerous funds that essentially are the beneficial holders . Incidentally I remain long and extremely positive on GGP and have taken the opportunity to add to my holding on this weakness
