Hi TLC.
Of course I know. Anyway, you;re doing a great news job! Ta for the update and it's looking good.
Glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit. Have time for any panning?
Would look forward to a construction and geo-visit next Spring, but will have to take the train up, as the peepers no longer up to driving!
Hope you had a good birthday. I've got a scary one tomorrow. I'm 27............err, did I get that right?
Regards, R.

Great to see new kit arriving ready to start. An update on the photo gallery/news on the website would be nice. Nowt like good news for the SP when shares in short supply?
GL & regards to all, R.

Hi Insanity.
Early exploration presentations and videos seem to be gone.
These published geology articles are rather OTT, but contain some good illustrations that might suit you:

Morning BBBaz.
Well spotted!
The tonnage of ore corresponds closely to the total ore reserves at:
https://www.scotgoldresources.com.au/projects/cononish-project/
Whoever wrote it perhaps already had condition 6 on their mind (?):
".......The storage capacity of the Tailings Storagr Facility (TSF) shall not exceed 346000 metres cubed of extractive waste (tailings)."
It seems it will cost SG a bit to keep track of all the conditions as recognized in conditions 35 and 36 requiring the company to appoint an 'Ecological Clerk of Works' and a 'Landscape Clerk of Works.' Anyone fancy a job?
Regards, R.

Hi Rosewall.
I got my email 10 mins after you, so I guess that's two of us that supported the PA, but I was online at 15.30 and quite by chance decided to click on the website. I was pleasantly surprised and hence I posted first at 15.39.
Baz72, I agree that Thursday's RNS as good as put the PP in the public domain, but we've all become so used to long delays, that Friday's event was a surprise, but it marks the end (at last!) of the beginning!
Regards, R.

Hi TLC.
"Best Assay from Hallady's vein was only 4.3 ounce per ton AU & 20.3 ounces per ton Ag."
'Only' is still 147.8 g/t..........not to be sneezed at, nor the lesser drilled grades.
Last year I found another thin, 5cm vein further to the right in the picture with much pyrite (+Au?) and little galena. Since Hallady;s veins are likely splays off the main Tyndrum lead vein, then if they were spared the late lead enrichment, the main Tyndrum vein to the NE or SW on strike may be similar, just like the Cononish vein has some Tyndrum fault style lead enrichment, but only at the NE end in the mine adit. A bit of food for thought.

Hi RM.
Good to have you back again on a good news day for Scotgold. Hope you are keeping well.

As you hadn't heard of the role ofRievaulx Abbey, Yorkshire in iron-making, I've dug out the article that caught my eye 16 years ago for your interest:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1397905/Henry-stamped-out-Industrial-Revolution.html

Kind regards, R.

Yayay, the IR was probably already ~200 years late, thanks to Henry V111 burning down Riveaux Abbey in N. Yorkshire, where archaeologists discovered evidence that the monks used coal to smelt iron instead of charcoal.
Regards, R.

Hi Yayay

Yet there's more, since I posted, another has appeared!
https://eplanning.lochlomond-trossachs.org/OnlinePlanning/files/B1C51718F93789B9F89DEED0A5B17D61/pdf/2017_0254_MIN-Section_75_Agreement-100318497.pdf
The first was 30 pages, this is 82 pages! Good job this mine is not as big as the Woodsmith Mine of Sirius Minerals plc as that went to several thousand pages!!!

Lots for everyone to 'wade through' over the weekend.
Yayay, this must surely have ramifications for the Tyndrum canal!

Happy reading to all, R.

This goes direct to the pdf, but they don't always work.

GLA and have a good weekend, R.

Happy birthday TLC!!!
'DECISION NOTICE FINAL.'

Happy reading!
You saw it here first!!!
Regards to all here, R.

Forgot that the SP down overnight, but like much of the rest of the market as the Brexit train crash looms!

Hi Yayay and BBBaz.
Signs of progress lately, but slower than anyone would like. Permitting can be like treading treacle.
All positive, but in small steps. I'll take that if they keep coming.
And another 50k bought. As for the sells, despite that, the bid going UP and probably some delayed reporting, it could be sells and buys not correct by LSE's computer, or a bed 'n ISA shuffle. Who knows on this merry-go-round??? Anyway, the SP is up a little.
A promising day. GLA, R.

Hi Rosewall.
More eyes and ears always welcome to those of us more remote as SG seemingly still treading on eggshells for information, despite things apparently progressing, albeit slowly. Hopefully once the build starts, SG will feel more able to blow it's trumpet on the website and elsewhere like SXX, where I know we both look.
Regards, R.

Hi TLC.
In that case something intriguing happening as per my last post.
ATB, R.

Morning all.
Yayay, you've had your birthday RNS. Yesterday's must be for TLC7's birthday, or around about. The next one should be in time for a MINE!!! He, he! Roll on Halloween!
Hopefully, R.

Afternoon TLC.
Natural or induced electrical potential may indicate subsoil oxidation of sulphides. This may better indicate the position/direction of a vein for directing trenching/drilling as soil/stream values often migrate away from source. More important is where testing/sampling is being done. If on mine/plant/stacking/drainage areas, may all be to do with baseline data for environmental monitoring, if away from the site then, then much more intriguing. All educated guesses, but at least something happening, so keep yer ear to the ground, so to speak!
Regards, R.
Regards, R.

Oooops! Repeating words. It's an age thing. Ha, ha!

Hi TLC.
In answer to your query re 'ground sensing.' There are a variety of on-foot techniques (eg. electrical and others) that might be used (depending on soil/ground cover) that can give detail to aerial surveys and stream/soil sampling to help direct direct trenching/drilling. What may (or not) be cost effective depends very much on individual sites/environments. Lets hope the drill-rig gets dusted off soon!
Regards, R.

Hi TLC?
Hopefully some good fortune rubs off onto SG and he has some transferable skills from an investing group. Though since they started off in spread betting, hopefully not just a mate for NLR. LoL!
Regards, R.
