Member Info for Rockhead

Your ET seems to have gone in the same direction as SGZ this year. Perhaps it's the gravitational pull of the heavy metal that SG have not managed to get out of Cononish. Maybe next month Rodders.

Have a good w/e, R.

Absolutely nothing missed GG, unless you want to include the discussions of the 2 resident 'flower pot me.' It seems that no news is good news, so the lights must still be on. It might be worth coming back at the end of Q3.

ATB, R.

Steady on yayay. I'm not that old. LoL!

Is there life on Mars?

ATB, R.

At least there's more than one button! LoL!

If things get better, then 13p to buy could turn out to be a good speculation!

As Baz would say, "Look on the Fife side!"

Andrew, don't list all the downsides and bring poor BP to tears!

Speculators like you and I have sold out. It's the LTHs that have the challenge of taking the hit or average down in hope or faith.

A soggy day in God's own county, R.

'Rockhead, if you’re more reliably informed please elaborate.'

Just IMO, been here a very long time and read everything since 2009.

'Or is your forte picking holes in others assertions.'

Only if you make it easy! Just a wee dig, ha, ha!

Regards, Mr. Tickle

'we are left to only speculate.'

Andrew, your forte!

'machinery we don't have the money or need for?'

The money is arguable, but if we are to maintain P1 and progress to P2, another drill will be essential to maintain the necessary development headings, stope preparation and operation that I previously posted about.

HAGWE, R.

'I think I like the place.'

Baz, You love it! Another lemon on the express! Ha, ha! Hope you had a good move.

'New funding required for this new start?'

Andrew, that review sounds like due diligence, but for whom and why?

GLA, R.

'10+ years ago'

A bit like the old chap with whom he battled and both still hanging about it seems.

Baz, keep 'em right with the sums. Well done!

GLA, R.

Baz, burning the midnight oil? Spot on comments, ol' lad. Will it soon be time for Beni?

BP, 'there is no debate.' Doesn't stop you endlessly repeating yourself!

Andrew, short of humour? Yes, I'm just here for the jeer!

Why is the SP so low you ask. See Baz's post of 00.56 that says it all.

GLA, R.

Just for you, Wullie:

Good to see some (Baz and Steelwatch) who have been here long enough to present some facts rathe than clueless debate.

Andrew, BP and George remind me of some characters from my early years:

GLA, R.

Talking about the Titanic BP, are you sure the whole world is not headed the same way/

See 'Earth' on BBC2 at 21.00 tonight or on i-player. The pre-history of the planet with emphasis on the 90% of life extinction 250Ma ago. Something I and some friends spent some years researching and where we are likely heading with human driven climate change.

Be cheerful! R.

'I sometimes wonder what NLR makes of the whole affair. I'd have heads on a spike. As a warning to the next CEO.'

Y'er a bit brutal!

We might already have him.....soon to be confirmed.......the bean counter! That might keep a lid on the costs that worry you and save a BoD salary!

I think we have differing outlooks on our world, but each to his own.

A sad story of late, but over a decade or so an interesting one and one that I'm sure we agree, would be good to continue for many people for whom SG has become a part of their lives. It's continuation is the only hope for some here to regain their investment or average down/buy in low if anyone fancies the risk.

GLA, R.

Andrew, prospective from a geological point of view (IMO). It is what it is, narrow, decent grade overall, but it is what you do with it that makes a successful mine or (as at present) not.

Your oft-repeated 'flaw' of high UK costs is valid, but if you consider that investment in many overseas projects has over decades enabled cheaper imports, perhaps greater rewards for investors (little for ordinary people in the UK), but often exported serious environmental consequences to largely developing countries. I would balance that against UK development, jobs, wealth generation and environmental protection. The choice is yours.

Personally, I would prefer the latter, even though it may need greater effort and innovation to balance higher costs. The question for all here is can Scotgold pull it off. I hope so......eventually!

I am an old man who tells his grandkids and great-grandkids how I traded SGZ, made some money and spent some of it on a Scottish Gold ring for Mrs. RH. Hopefully, one day you and all here will be able to tell a similar positive tale, but that will be a work in progress........fingers crossed!

GLA, R.

Fond regards to the shy lock keeper's daughter. May the canal waters bring forth streams of the yellow metal.

HAGWE, R,

'for new addicts to mine them!'

Is this an opportunity for TB, yayay and me? LoL!

Maybenot, You are right in an ideal world exploration, but how often do you know of this happening? At one mine I once worked for, they sank 13 x ~1km boreholes over ~100sq km and encountered 13 different seam conditions. When mining started, all 13 conditions were encountered within 1km of the shafts.

That is faith for yayay! The mine is still operating over 45years later, so perhaps there is hope for Cononish yet!

With the data SG have, I have posted for years that IMO this is a very prospective and I am still of the same opinion. SG just need to get it mined in a proper fashion and produce the tonnage.

A good weekend to all here. TTFN, R.

Hi yayay.

Now that is faith! TB had buckets of it. Nowt wrong with faith as long as the harmonium plays!

Regards, R.
