The GGP RNS of 1 Oct 2018 forms the LAST definitive info on Haverion.

Then, all of a sudden, out of the blue, an unexpected RNS relating to the appointment of Clive Latcham who is such a heavy hitter as "Ex-Copper Chief of Rio [Mining Journal]" .

So, the preceeding RNS will be definitive in that the results of HAD1 & HAD5 are pointed out in the GGP RNS.

Therefore, those drilling results as quoted by GGP form the definitive.

In themselves it has no meaning. However, prior to the said RNS, it has been benchmarked against Rio*s rumoured copper and gold find in Paterson + all the other Aussie junior explorers at Paterson. This includes Telfer mine historic indicative early results.

One has to logically summise that Clive Latcham would have had seen the GGP RNS, especially that of 1 Oct 2018.

Relating to the GGP drilling results of HAD5 which was double of HAD1, one has to look at other BENCHMARKS of "massive chalcopyrite" to see the INTERSECTIONS LENGTHS, MINERALS & GRADES.

Ideally, 3 examples need to be looked at to get a balance.

In addition, an academic paper would also help to lend to the 3.

Otherwise, when the results come out, one is not sure what one is looking at ie an idea.

Hence, the data is given as they are from my research notes.

I have another example but I have not posted due to lack of time last night.

Not editing this posting with eyestrain.

"THE DISCOVERY & EXPLORATION HISTORY OF THE VOISEY BAY DEPOSITS"

-" Heralded as one of the most significant discoveries in Canada in the last 30 years."

"A surface EM survey was carried out in 1994 outlined an excellent 1,200 m long bedrock conductor., Based on these results, a LIMITED ---5 HOLE---diamond drill program ensued in Oct of that yr. ALL FIVE diamond drill HOLES intersected SIGNIFICANT mineralisation with drill hole VB....02 intersecting ----41.2 zone of S E M I M A S S I V E to M A S S I V E sulphide grading ------2.96% Ni [Nickel]-----1.47% Cu [Copper] and-----0.12% Co [Cobalt]"

"The present reserves and resources, including measured, indicated and inferred categories, now stands at -----136 MILLION TONNES grading--- 1.59% Ni [Nickel] --- 0.85% Cu [Copper] & 0.09% Co[Cobalt]."

WHY AM I POSTING ABOUT VOISEY BAY?
Today, Thur, 18 Oct 2018 at 12:34 noon, I posted: "GGP Haverion Hole 5 [Definitive].

Quote:
From GGP 1 Oct 2018 RNS: Haverion Update

"GEOLOGICAL inspection has intersected mineralised brecciated calcareous limestone & sandstone with M A S S I V E pyrite, C H A L O C O P Y R I T E, P Y R R H O T I T E and quartz... Initial observations from HAD 005, IN CONJUNCTION with earlier results from HAD001, suggests that Haverion may represent a VERY LARGE MINERALISED SYSTEM."

Wikipedia: "Pyrrhotite---------is an iron sulphide mineral that can contain SIGNIFICANT amounts of NICKEL & COBALT."

Chalcopyrite: "It is the PRINCIPAL ORE OF ---COPPER--."

Re-post from my 12.34 noon post of today:
"Chalcopyrite is PRESENT in the Supergiant Olympic Dam Cu-Au-U deposit in South Australia."

"File history: Ore from OLYMPIC DAM---M A S S I V E C H A L C O P Y R I T E in strongly hematised breccia."

Comment:
When the GGP 1 Oct 2018 RNS came out, investors did not under what is "VISUAL mineralisation." I have already posted re: Rio-Paterson Province {140m of visual mineralisation} which is the same term used.

Investors may also not be familar with the word "M A S S I V E pyrite, CHALCOPYRITE, PYRRHOTITE and vein quart.." from the same said RNS.

So, one can see from OLYMPIC DAM {GGP website on Paterson www.greatlandgold.com/paterson/ mentions Olympic Dam] & VOISEY BAY, they use the geo word "MASSIVE" and in the case of Voisey Bay "SEMI MASSIVE TO MASSIVE" in the said description.

Please note that until CONFIRMED by assay results expected 6 wks from 1 Oct 2018, one is unable to determine grades etc.

However, just to illustrate the term "Massive" which was also used in the academic paper on Voisey Bay. I have other examples but may post when I have more time.

Thur, 18 Oct 2018. Please check. DYOR. IMHO. Just a discussion and general info.

Part 2 [In conjunction with Part 1-Click Reply and one can refer as it is within this thread].

***VOISEY BAY*****
"The tale of one of the most LEGENDARY DISCOVERIES in junior mineral exploration"
-The 2 prospectors sampled throughout the summer of 1993 without much luck but they did Chip some SAMPLES of C H A L C O P Y R I T E, a COPPER bearing mineral from an outcrop."

"The samples came back with -------2% COPPER------"
"At this time, Diamond Fields was a FLEDGING Co. In Aug 1994, the prospectors received more DETAILED ASSAYS from the samples they collected - assays that CONFIRMED a Multi-Element deposit with cobaltite, COPPER, magnetite and EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH amounts of NICKEL." [My Comment: Posted about Olympic Dam:107m at 2%Copper-Govt of South Australia. Just thought I would remind about 2% copper grade]

"On drill HOLE NO 2 they HIT...the drill core was YELLOW. Not from gold but from high grade MASSIVE sulphides."
[See picture shown]

"After the SECOND drill hole at Voisey Bay -----HIT 33 METRES -----of MASSIVE SULPHIDES, it was clear Diamond Fields was onto something."

--Part II-The Auction--
"At this point,Robert Friedland reigned in control of the co with one mission : to AUCTION OFF THE DISCOVERY for the HIGHEST PRICE."

"The Assays for -----33METRES MASSIVE Sulphide hit came in:

---2.23% N I C K E L
---1.47% C O P P E R
---0.123% CO B A L T

"UP TO HOLE 6: N O T H I N G."

"RESULTS FOR HOLE 7 & 8 RELEASED:
Hole 7 returned--------104METRES of M A S S I V E sulphide and FOUND the Ovoid.
- 3.9% N I C K E L
-2.8% C O P P E R
-0.14% COBALT

Hole 8:-------111METRES in ovoid
-3.79% N I C K E L
-2.78% C O P P E R
-0.13% COBALT

"More nickel from Ovoid came in EVERY MONTH and the stock price continued to rise. At this point, Diamond Fields could NO longer fly under the radar. MAJOR MINING co*s could NO longer stand to watch as ONE of the greatest base metal deposits blossomed OUTSIDE their influence."

"THE BIDDING- INCO $31 per share at $3.5 BILLION, FALCONBRIDGE $36 at $4 BILLION. Finally INCO announced a TAKEOVER BID of $43.50 or $174 PRE-SPLIT."

"Today, the project is owned by Vale and it is ONE of the LARGEST NICKEL MINES in the world."

CHART: "Diamond Fields Nov 1994 share price was $4.65."

relating to 1 Oct 2018 RNS.

Quote:
"SIGNIFICANT mineralisation VISIBLE similar to previous intersection in HAD001 holes have been observed for approximately -----239 METRES---in the 1st Hole of Greatland*s Current drilling campaign at HAD005."

"GEOLOGICAL inspection has intersected mineralised brecciated calcareous limestone and sandstone with M A S S I V E pyrite, C H A L C O P R I T E, PYRRHOTITE and quartz veining from 458m to 577m (119m) and from 662m to 782m (120m)."

"Initial observations from HAD005, in CONJUNCTION with earlier results from HAD001, suggest that Haverion may Represent a VERY LARGE MINERALISED SYSTEM."

"Drilling of Hole 6 has commenced and initial laboratory results for HAD005 are EXPECTED to be available in approximately SIX WEEKS."

"While laboratory results for HAD005 are not available at this point, and there can be no guarantee that assay results will be similar to those of HAD001, the VISIBLE MINERALISED intersection in HAD005 is considered MATERIAL because it represents a VISIBLE MINERALISED intersection approx. TWICE the SIZE of that detected in HAD001."

>>>WHAT IS PYRRHOTITE- Link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrrhotite

External preamble: "Pyrrhotite is an iron sulphide mineral...that can contain SIGNIFICANT amounts of NICKEL & COBALT."

Comment:
Hence, why investors are waiting for the ASSAY results of Haverion Hole 5 [HAD005].-------*** Please note that ONLY the RNS can confirm from laboratory assay results.****---------

Please check. DYOR. IMHO. Capital at risk.

Ref: Finding Motherlode-Interview with Gervaise Heddle by ii*s Lee Wild. The date of this article is PRE-drilling of Stage 2 ie the 10 holes, starting from Hole 5. Phase 1 drilling done: Hole 1-4.

When the 24 holes are mentioned as per the article [link is within this thread], I took it to mean that was the TOTAL needed which is what was advised by Solgold*s Dr Bruce Rohlach.

So, when the 14 holes are completed [Hole 1-4, Hole 5-15], I expect GGP to consult with their geological team to review the results. Then, they may plan the next 9 holes according to the modelling. I would think they may go down to 1,500 metres [per Telfer depths] as indicated by the article.

That is my take on it given it is to obtain a BASELINE of the discovery which may indicate a LARGE FIND or MAJOR FIND [ref: Finding Motherlode as above article]

So, we await to see how it pans out.

CLIVE LATCHAM
I do not think that Mr Latcham is just any Rio Ex-Executive. Many of the junior explorers have ex-Rio [BCN-early days, ex-Rio Geo from South America from recall].

Mr Latcham MANAGES Rio*s Investments and in the attempted takeover of Rio by BHP, Mr Latcham did the defence strategy. He also does asset disposals and JV*s.

I have not heard of any other Rio Ex-COPPER CHIEF.

For a small junior co like GGP, the co is not yet at the stage of hiring, say Maxit Capital Investment Bankers, listing on TSE & Germany etc. Why? GGP would need to drill a minimum of 24 total holes to give a good overview. That was what happened at Solgold ie Hole 14/15 with Maxit involvement and at Hole 17, BHP.

GGP finances is NOT able to hire a Dr Steve Garwin, a leading authority of porphyries [GGP*s discovery is not a porphyry type] with a BSc from Stanford, PhD [with honours] and ex-Newmont. Then they would need to hire a Investment Banker with PROVEN experience in strategies for takeover negotiations, JV, Asset Disposal + Specialist Funding.

So, Mr Latcham appears to be the above all rolled into 1 to take this co into the next stage of DEVELOPMENT. So, VERY COST EFFECTIVE.

Haverion is in a Tier 1 jurisdiction and Mr Latcham being based in Australia is nuanced in the key issues indicated in the said RNS of 15 Oct 2018.

GERVAISE HEDDLE: CEO, Greatland Gold
"The Board looks forward to working with him and LEVERAGING his SENIOR RELATIONSHIPS across the INDUSTRY to ACCELERATE DEVELOPMENT across ALL AREAS of the business during this EXCITING & T R A N S F O R M A T I O N A L period for the co." - GGP RNS, 1 Oct 2018 re:Appointment of Clive Latcham.

QUESTION TO BE ASKED:
Are there any Ex-Rio executives, say ex-geologist who can LEVERAGE HIS SENIOR RELATIONSHIPS across the industry? By Senior, it would appear to be at the Top Echelons of Industry eg Chairman, CEO, Investment bankers etc.

CLIVE LATCHAM:
2) Other than the above ie Leverage his Senior Relationships across Industry, Mr Latcham has also been brought into Greatland Gold to "ADVISE THE BOARD DURING AN

COPPER CHIEF {Source: Mining Journal}. The RNS today re: Clive Latham*s appointment as Non-Executive Director is to "Support the management team Ensuring the co has COVERED all the KEY ISSUES required to ADVANCE the co*s Haverion project in to the NEXT STAGE of DEVELOPMENT, including identifying people that can assist the management team as well as advising the BOARD DURING any potential NEGOTIATIONS WITH MAJOR MINING CO*S."

Re-cap, the ShareTalk article of today re: above said that Clive Latcham managed Rio*s "Investments" in Escondida & Grasberg plus others. From the article I posted Escondida is the World*s LARGEST mine out of 20 and Grasberg is No 2. Read the article to see that Mr Latcham was also involved in fending BHP*s takeover approach re: Rio etc {read the details as this is from recall}.

Comment:
From all the information from the RNS, it would appear that Mr Latcham*s appointment is as Senior Advisor to the Management Team & Board re:key issues and potential negotiations with major mining co*s respectively.

His role is active in the main play on the above 2 fronts.

So, in the former role ie key issues, Mr Latcham will be advising on how to do things the way MAJORS want things done to satisfy both the industry standard & potentially institutions.

Mr Latcham brings industry gravitas and none of the co*s one has seen has such a high-profile candidate for an advisory and hand-on role to ensure a smooth pathway.

His GRAVITAS will satisfy both industry at the HIGHEST LEVELS & Institutions.

Per the article: "Interview with Gervaise Heddle, CEO GGP re: FINDING THE MOTHERLODE", ii by Lee Wild [just before 2nd stage drilling at Haverion starting from Hole 5-15}, Mr Heddle mentioned that MAJORS are interested in deposits of --------10 to 20 MILLION OUNCES OF GOLD."

In the said article, it was indicated that the drilling of up to 24 holes is to ascertain it is a BIG FIND OR MAJOR FIND.

Comment:

From now onwards, Mr Latcham will be guiding management & the Board on the above. Mr Latcham: it is common knowledge that heavyweights do not just enter any project. If Mr Latcham were to take on say, a project of 1-2moz region, then his C.V will show that from Escondida, Grasberg etc, he goes on to a tiddler? Hence, why Advisors do not take on projects in general that is not within their range - that is common knowledge in general?

From now on, it will be interesting as this opening gambit of the said appointment appears to be a stunner this morning [9.52am].

Oh, how interesting that the options were written with a clause ie Change of Control. By the way, Solgold also has such a clause. Interesting times but we await developments via RNS.

DYOR. IMHO.
