Member Info for Rockhead

Thanks for that info, CP52. Clearly my isolation musing is wide of the mark and would require too much work to start up. SG will need to concentrate on the tasks in hand............as soon as they are able!
Talking of upsides, the SP here is 62p, but unfortunately seems to be 49p (still up 2.5p) on other websites! LSE needing a new abacus perhaps?
Regards, R.

Hi CP52.
With the PoG trend boosting future potential, is there anything else that might help?
Hopefully RC & Co are striving to take advantage of government schemes to pay 80% of wages and loans to help keep businesses going, but is there another chance to avoid any need of any more funding to finish our delayed construction?

Is the BTP kit still in the old process shed and is it serviceable? If 'care and maintenance' could include safely readying it, then when SG can restart, both it and development ore production (including the heap we have now) could be working within days and produce a revenue stream until the new process plant reaches start-up. From my 2016 and 2017 visits, the BTP only seemed to have 2 or 3 operators. I don't recall the finances of the BTP that may have only covered the costs of running it, but back then the PoG was only £850 to £100o/oz and as you point out, it is now far higher, so that the BTP might just make a few bob! Just a thought in my isolation, but what do you reckon?
Regards and stay safe, R.

Bellers, I wish you better luck than we got from SXX!!!

Afternon all.
What jitters now? we are up over 9% today, though so is most other stocks. Perhaps the Queen's Speech has boosted confidence or Dominic Raab at the helm may have helped! A tad unkind to Boris perhaps and hope he is soon well.
Regards and stay safe to all, R.

Hi Autumn.
You won't be the first to get his timing wrong! I've been there! My crystal ball often more like Cononish white quartz! Who could for-see where we are today? You have only made a loss when you have sold at one. The only question is whether to just hold or whether to average down? If the latter, I tended to do so in small amounts over time when funds permitted, as it is hard to call when is the bottom. Cononish quartz still contains the gold awaiting and the fundamentals of this project and other prospects are unchanged. Just money and time holding it back and at the ages of a few here, the latter is getting short! LoL!
Be careful all, R.

Looks like this:

may have spooked a few sells today? Two steps forward, one step back!...............just another SGZ day!
GLA, R.

'is' for 'in'..............Morar could be right about me!

Bellers, but loo roll theft is on the up! Royal Snail yet to deliver me a parcel sent a week ago. Glen may be right and the company in busy, perhaps on transport logistics with South Worcestershire.
Regards 2 all, R.

Hi Spud.
Patience needed in uncertain times. Our ancestors had to be much more so, depending as they did upon the seasons and the weather.

The year was 1034 AD. From his village on the southeast coast of Iceland, the local Viking chieftain was planning his next voyage to the south to raid and plunder. Rudolph had inherited his long flowing red hair and beard, and his nickname, from his ancestor “Eric the Red”. All through the long winter months his people, who were expert boat builders and sailors, had been preparing their longboats for the trip. Each day Rudolph would climb the hill at the edge of the village and look out to sea to monitor the changing seasons and assess the likely future weather conditions. Finally, the day came when he was satisfied that a period of dry and settled weather lay ahead and he rushed back to his home to tell his wife that the time had come for he and his warriors to depart. “But how do you know that the weather will be fine and dry?” she asked him. “Because Rudolph the Red knows rain dear” he replied.

Regards, R.

PoG £1388 today. If only we can produce, the SP must go North. Unfortunately, self-distancing in the mine and on construction very difficult. Only our geos out on field-work might manage it and might be glad to be out away from the virus! Wish I could go out and do it, but too old and in self-isolation for at least 3 months. SG construction probably in the same boat, but hey!..............we're all used to it!
GLA, R.

Morning all.
Canonbie, it might be a bit early yet, for as Baz says, there is still much s**t yet to come down the line.

BP, at the age and health of myself and wife, we (and a few more on this board) can only hope to survive the potential 'death sentence' and hope that our world will go on, but as number 6 discovered, that may not be so for hiatus can leave a lasting step-change.

Bellers, lets hope that in more remote Tyndrum, things can continue and keep an eye on SG twitter.
Regards to all, R.

Rather too like West Yorkshire! LoL!
ATB, R.

Canonbie, thank you for that advice. Shall I take to social distancing on a canal-boat or flee to the Isle of Man? On thoughts, becoming a troglodyte in the Cononish adit might be a better bet!
Regards, R.

Hi RM.
Flettons were a type of pressed brick made from a clay known as the 'Fletton Knotts'. Useful as containing ~10% oil as built-in fuel, but sulphurous and smelly. Back in the 60s, LBC and Marstons were the two largest companies on the outcrop from Calvert to Peterborough.
I think in your diversification into other products, you may have confused with the London Rubber Company, also in the Lea Valley area:
http://www.walthamstowmemories.net/pdfs/Bill%20Bayliss%20-%20London%20Rubber%20Co.pdf
In the land of rock and chips where dogfish was not from, but popular on the Isle of Dogs. Cod caught by 'cod-heads' (Whitby folk) much preferred up here and haddock popular in the Hon basil's domain.

To add to confusion, I'm trying to confuse Baz with 'here' for hear!

I hope everyone here is set comfortably for their social distancing.
Judy, I hope you can put up with our convivial garbage! There may be overload in the next few months!

A good week end to all here, R.

Hi Baz.
Good to here you dodged the closing door..................just in time for lock-down in Lothian! You and yours keep well in your confinement. Join the club!
Regards, R.

Hi RM.
Are there any Fletton brick-makers left? I spent 6 months training at Stewartby with London Brick Co. in the mid 60s as part of a 'sandwich course'. I recall many Italians working there. Bedford was nick-named 'Little Italy' with plenty of ice-cream parlours. Not far from me, Redcar has Rea's where a 'lemon-top' can be had for a song and even a family son and ex-steelman turned to song decades ago and left to cross the pond:

Perhaps he knew where we are heading!!!

Thank you Yayay for your canal-side tales when the golden glen is quiet. You are the only poster that can be inventive, wayward and amusing simultaneously!
Demand for canal services may be on the rise as the descendants of Mr. Stephenson's invention are halted:

A shame perhaps, as the fumes of burning coal and smell of hot oil would surely frighten off the most evil of germs!
Regards, R.

Hi Spud.
Tis little wonder that some former posters have left a taste of suspicion on this board, but that is thankfully in the past.
Indeed, an update on progress would be welcome to add to the last such tweet from SG on 12/02. There must be something happening as they are still recruiting for a geologist for the summer exploration season. I'd love to go, but eyesight not up to driving any longer and arthritis precludes climbing, but anything is better than social isolation at home!!!

Hi Judy.
Over 2 years since I managed my last mine visit and looking forward to another..............sometime!!! Lack of news leads to inventive, wayward and amusing posting, not to mention the SP drifting down a canal!
Regards, R.

Hi RM.
Stella Rose, paid for by shareholders and guided by rockheads is still burrowing through Redcar Mudstone under Cleveland, but any other rock-breaking awaiting AAL to open it's purse now that it has gobbled up SXX cheaply!
SGZ the only UK physical resource project on the go! All others struggling or stopped.
NYMR still going too.

Hi Glen.
Thanks for link to interesting video.

Best wishes to all here, R.

Hi Baz.
Sounds scary, but this could be your chance to be a 'beach bum'! Sleep on the beach under the stars, buy a metal detector and dredge up valuables lost in the sand by tourists to pay for beer! Try and get back before Queen Nicola shuts the door!
ATB, R.
