There’s gold in them thar Black Hills20 Feb 2024 14:09
“gold nuggets were found in thin sand cover at Saddle Reefs.”
I wonder what’s been happening, if anything,with the Juri JV.
Have any of the satellite snoopers spotted anything going on?
Stage 1: Newcrest must spend A$3 million in relation to the Juri Tenements within 24 months of entering into the Juri Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement to earn an additional 26% interest in the Juri Tenements (cumulative 51% interest); and
Stage 2: Newcrest must spend an additional A$17 million in relation to the Juri Tenements within 36 months of completing Stage 1 to earn an additional 24% interest in the Juri Tenements (cumulative 75% interest).
Following completion of Stage 1 on 20 August 2021, Newcrest exercised its right to increase its interest in the Juri Tenements to 51% (the remaining 49% to be held by Greatland) and elected to proceed to Stage 2 on 18 October 2021. Newcrest was appointed as the Juri JV Manager with effect from 1 July 2023.
So by October 2024 Newcrest/Newmont must have spent an aggregate of A$20 million to move to 75% or I assume they just stop at 51% ownership, if they have not met that commitment?
