Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
I agree, Stuart and Spratt -
When I heard GH, in the LSE interview, say that there had been multiple companies interested in working with us at Havieron, I thought that it was new information. I feel it shows how comfortable he is , working with NCM. It's all looking good.
Hopefully, the next drill results, with Paddys' overlays, will show us the area that NCM were so excited about and the reason for the pepperpots.
I am hoping that Newcrest's application, for permission to construct the decline portal, would be on a public register. Also, the register should reveal any further applications to amend the original design or location. If there was a plan attached to the documents, it might help to explain the mysterious rectangle, or rule out that possibility.
Chartbuster , or anyone else with knowledge of Australian mining and permitting, can you help, please?

Magictrades and Hydrogen are the geologists here, but I do know that this year and next year will be very interesting for us and for Artemis.
M. and H. have talked about the possibility of district scale mineralisation here.
Our tenements are surrounded by larger companies. They are as curious about the area as we are.
That is why I hope we can keep all our targets until we can drill them.
Thanks, magictrades -
If Artemis inherit the unmineralised dyke, they will be hoping it forms a small part of any deposit.
We are fortunate at Havieron because, although the dyke was a significant feature in GGP's first drillholes, Newcrest are now leaving it to one side.
Yes, great work Paddy.
As an amateur, I wonder if the mafic dyke is following the fault line, simply because the intrusion found that weak area.
It will be interesting to see if Artemis report the continuation of the unmineralised dyke, in their ground, in due course.
Fortunately, as our activity at Havieron has expanded NW, the percentage volume of ore lost to the mafic dyke has become much smaller.

If the idea of double horseshoes does hold true, could you remind me of the likely timeline of the high-grade zones versus the brecchia. Could the brecchia have been held in a "washing machine" effect, within the outer zones, leading to consistent brecchia within those high-grade zones?
Yes, Hydrogen-
Bearing in mind the depth of the plunge in the SE, I can't wait to see what is trying to hide from the drills in the NW.
This share will become difficult to buy, when the big boys want more, because of loyal GGP shareholders, who will hang on for the big prizes.
You researchers understand the true importance of Havieron, more than the general market does, even now.

I would love to be able to relate the large blob and the two smaller blobs to Paddy's sat images and his overlay of Havieron.
The problem is that I can't at this stage and so I know I will have to wait for the interim results.
They will, at least, show us the areas that had NCM's attention several weeks ago. I am particularly interested in the grades and widths of intercepts, as they head to the NW.
NCM's published 3D model showed the deposit plunging in the SE, as the GGP description, pre-drilling. But I am convinced there is something else.
Havieron will reveal all her secrets in time - perhaps the best ones are being kept for later.
Yes, Trucky -
Both GGP and NCM seem to run a very tight ship and really consider their shareholders.
Gervais and Callum have built up a very loyal following , especially over the last two years.
I know that Chartbuster said the share register was wide open. That may be so but, when I hear of the number of long term shareholders who have concentrated their portfolios here, I would not be surprised if we hold one third of all GGP shares in issue.
WelshFalcon -
Yes, Havieron will be the cash generator. It will also help Gervaise do the best deal on any projects that GGP choose to sell.
With the price of gold and with, hopefully, lockdown restrictions easing, other companies will be looking at our licences and, this time, seeing them in the light of our success at Havieron.
Paddy -
Thanks for your work on today's satellite image.
Now that the growth phase has been planned, I thought we might start to see 100m. step-outs across the site.
NCM seem to be drawn back to the "new" SW area, like a dog with a bone, that cannot be left alone.
Is it the grades they are finding there or the type of mineralisation that needs to be so closely examined?
Hopefuly the interim report will provide the first clues and then, as you say, a big hit at the end of July.
Magic - Is it too early to give your thoughts on the possible depths of the potential deposit in the NW., from the geology that you have?
Regarding the breccia arms, there have been a few intercepts, but not enough yet to show the likely depth there. Am I correct in thinking that the breccia could go very deep?
The GGP geophysics showed a 200m. lateral and a 500m. vertical offset between two bodies. These are substantial offsets, even on a Havieron scale and I have not yet understood them.
Paddy and Strudel -
This is looking more and more interesting. Paddy, your overlay is defining a huge area and NCM are very busy on what look like crucial parts of it.
I can see why so much drilling is planned and a 3D model, taking in the full length of the arms plus any dome-closing in the NW, will be awaited by all concerned. That will be months away and for good reasons. Let us hope for continued, exceptional results every six weeks.
