Hopefully you will hear something other than SGZzzzzzzz! Have a nice day, R.

Baz, I can't visualize you as Bruce Willis!
Samson, ta for the link. A good read with expressions of overcoming obstacles and faith in the future like those that have kept many here for so many years, but now it's results that count! Fingers crossed for tomorrow!
GLA, R.

Baz, it was the England team, but at least Scotland came closer to beating them than anyone else!
No trades so far today and no sign of 'leaks.' The RNS might be a surprise and we'll have to hope for a good one!
Regards R.

England have a win, so here's hoping the end of June monthly report tomorrow or Thursday is a winner too!

A soggy day in God's own county today. The grass should be growing well over the w/e, so Bellers might be able to exercise his mower next week approaching the month end.
ERIS have posted a wee geo-video for our amusement:

A good w/e to all here, R.

Everybody likes first hand news with 12 recommending your post. Hope you had a good time. Only 6/7 days to the end of month RNS to find out how things are going at Cononish. Hopefully PD has ticked more boxes on his aims.
GLA, R.

Svend, more a case of too many promises made, but not met. New CEO more into stating aims and reporting on progress,......as it should be! It seems to be getting better, how much we shall see with each end of month report.
ATB, R.

Hopefully, our 'Disney troubles' are behind us:

Large buys this week may signal renewed confidence. Even I tossed in my 2p!
A good weekend to all, R.

Hi RM.
Welcome back from he cold. One would think that those in positions of power might have before now worked out that documents, emails, tweets, etc., can come back to haunt them. Clearly, they did not heed the words of Mark Anthony, "The evil that men do lives long after them; the good is oft interred in their bones." Hope for come up-pence. The BIG one
Hi Baz.
Insider trading? Surely not on the AIM magic roundabout! The big one soon: England v Scotland! Doubtless Dave Marshall will not want a close look at the ball any more than we wanted a look at a button on St. Andrew's Day! Still waiting for a pic of an SG dore bar.
The sun just come out, so ATB to all, R.

Same occurred to me, Samson. Hence my top-up yesterday. Someone with the last large buy of the day must have a canny broker!
Nearby ERIS want us to know they are busy today:
https://twitter.com/ErrisResources
SG's twitter still quiet, so trading trend is the only clue we have, unless anyone has an ear in the village.
HAND to all, R>

Samson, I hope you're right and you get responses to your post, unlike mine of yesterday that makes me wonder if Scots posters are trying to ignore me after my wee football joke! As a measure of agreement I indulged in a little top-up today.
GLA, R.

Takeaways? Only that Cononish is the most advanced gold project, a country mile ahead of all the other gold prospects in Scotland and plenty more prospects for the future in the Grampian Project.
At least production is at last ramping up despite the winter 'own goal' start-up, reminiscent of the second Czech goal against Scotland this afternoon! LoL!
Could give plenty of other geo-data links if you have insomnia.
Regards, R.

If you want more detail on the nature of the orebody, try the presentation by geologist Charlie King of January 2021 at :

Regards, R.

That would be nice, but we didn't get that last month and the company have said to expect month-end updates. Hopefully they are too busy winding up the action.
Nearby Eris Loch Tay drilling results out today that make Scotgold's geo-database look good!

A good weekend to all, R.

Afternoon all.
BP and Bellers, for what it is worth. We don't know which "concentrate" was sent to refiners, pyrite, galena or the sum of both (see pic with white quartz to left of yellow pyrite at the BPT):
https://twitter.com/GrahamScotgold/status/758551691113398272
The blue/grey galena fraction, being heavier than pyrite and containing some gold, may not separate as well from the free gold (right). Hence, it may be that the galena fraction is run separately again through the gravity system to improve the free gold recovery and this was done at times in the BPT:
https://twitter.com/GrahamScotgold/status/917270220913250304
The above was 2016-2017 and we don't know what is happening in the new process plant, but it might (?) explain the term "modest amounts of gravity gold" that would be less than the 25% hoped for as Scottish gold dispatched to refiners so far. Some potentially free gold may remain with the galena fraction unless/until it may (?) be further gravity separated to increase free gold recovery if that is economic. Free gold sent to refiners with a train of certification is all good for the premium after some silver, a little galena and minor impurities are removed.

All of the above is my informed and perhaps dated speculation. PD appears to be wisely sticking to the the facts as far as achievement is concerned. Until the mine and plant settles down and substantially fulfills phase one production, the true performance and achievement will not be known. Hope that helps.
ATB, R.

Hi Eck.
The vein in the adit is all good stuff, it's just a question of how much of the access development can be done on vein for practical reasons. Once we have one or more stopes, it's nearly all good stuff. The first ore blocks (AD11, AD13) encountered in and above the adit could be 10-20 g/t Au (block grade section (ES2) in the ASX RNS of 30/04/2013). We don't know the cash burn rate, but the May deliveries of concentrate and dore should bring in the range of £200 to 300k eventually.
The last job application dates left on the website are all 31/05/21, so hopefully progress is in hand.
Regards, R.

Someone has remembered the password at last!

Could PR have been rediscovered. at SG?
A good weekend to all, R.

Not the sort of guy to appeal to interviewers and speculators. Nowt given away, no hype, just let the results do the talking and come back next month, thank you. We got gold, next target gold every day for June. How much might have to wait until end of July. Just as long as it's progress.
GLA, R.

Hi D1g. Another one to add to the list......lazy journalism! In BP's link, the article is fine, but the pictures are ALL years old. OK for the history part, but they couldn't be bothered to find a recent one of the mine and plant for comparison.
Regards, R.

Hi Canonbie.
There is no tin of increasing price to be had, but the lead from concentrate residue might help the processing with costs. There is tellurium in the ore and molybdenum in other veins to be had if economic. A couple of years ago, SG did supply some ore for characterization to the ION$RAW project that seeks to recover strategic resources from concentrates or residues:
https://ion4raw.eu/partners/scotgold-resources/
Maybe a future potential after full production achieved.
