That's definitely ballcock!

Hi BBBaz.
Rapper? Might need to add the first letter of his Pseudonym. Then he can flush that 'hush' for a golden gush!
Be happy, R.

Hi TLC.
Ta for interesting links. Could this be Canobie's 'gold tourist plan?' Rent a pan in Tyndrum!
Regards, R.

Hi Samson and BBBaz.

Thank you for those two thoughtful contributions with which I would largely agree.

Samson, I would point out that the lower capital, dry-stacking scheme was not available until the BPT showed that gravity separation would leave a sufficiently benign waste and that to the NP and EA was probably more important than the concentrate recovered.

What's past is past. I would hope (as I have posted previously) that once to legal ink is finally dry, we will see a build start and greater public promotion of the company.

Regards to you both, R.

Morning all.
Hi Glen,.
For you it had to be a pink bunny!
Hi Canobie.
What one believes is the truth. That doesn't necessarily include some/all/any facts. IMHO is as good as it gets.
Hi BBBaz.
Hope you are well Mr. Grumble. Are you to be an SP duet with Canobie now? Two pink bunnies for Glen! LoL!

Perhaps Mr. Market (as Shylock used to say) is waiting for something concrete............like the first concrete pour for the process plant foundations!!!

Canobie, the value question is will there an RNS for Yayay's birthday next week?

Regards to all here and have a good bank-holiday weekend. TTFN, R.

Canobie, your question is greatly over-rated in value.

Since it seems that history is not your strong point, Ennex were encouraged in the 1980s by the doubling of the PoG in 1979. Unfortunately it then went nowhere or gently down for the next 26 years, so first Ennex gave up and then in the 1990s the Caledonian Mining Co did the same. It doubled 2005-2008 and doubled again 2008-2011 which encouraged Scotgold to take it on. Simple facts that anyone can search for online in five minutes.

Samson and I have tried to answer your previous whinge on the SP, but either you did not read the posts (as you did not respond), or you are a fan of conspiracy theories that if repeated often enough, you might get someone to believe them. Perhaps the 'hidden agendas' that you suspect are in fact yours?

You have had responses from posters, so it would at least be polite to reply to them rather than repeat yourself in different ways in the manner of a metronome!

Have a good weekend, R.

For what it's worth, I wouldn't use Barclays for anything other than my current account on my experience. Don't accept errors and excuses from them. They have twice in the last 5 years, cocked up transactions on my and the wife's ISAs. I complained mockingly and suggested they (in Leicester) gave more respect to Dick III than living customers! Both times I got apology, restitution and compensation. Stick it in them! For my minuscule share dealing I use Interactive Investor and so far in 7 years it's worked OK for me.

Hi Hick.
Nice to hear from you. You'd be better asking Yayay about the canal than Canobie!
ATB, R.

Hi Canobie.
Your posts always leave more questions than answers IMO and this thread is no exception.

Q. "Why is this share price not going up?"............A. Because not enough investors are buying them.....simples!

"taking into account the traditional established stock market system of looking forward years!!" Where does this happen? In investment companies perhaps, but most of the stock market, speculators/iinvestors and dealers are looking at much shorter term gains.

"Any other situation in a similar position ie. one year away would be looking at a substantially higher share price." In a year's time it will be, but speculators/investors will not wait a year or so until we are in production, they will invest and make profits elsewhere until the mine is built and production is about to start.

Until then or until we get other game-changing news, speculators/investors will only dip in to pick up or add cheap shares to their portfolio. This share is news driven...............look at the surge on news of finance in the Spring and the downward drift sfter.

All IMO of course, but you wanted someone to get serious, so there you go!!!

Regards, R.

Evening all.

Glen, just to let you know I've done me 'homework!'

Thanks TLC for the 'heads up' to an interesting read. A geo-response not appropriate here, but this latest paper adds another geochemical technique to corroborate and refine conclusions by Scotgold's former geologist Dr. Nyree Hill in her 2013 paper on the genesis and evolution of the Cononish and nearby veins. These two papers plus Nyree's phD thesis and Scotgold's database will give our two geologists clues as to how to move forward to refine the Cononish mining and select a target short-list for the Grampian project.

Lots of potential IMO for the patient.

New characters stirring the canal bank? Letters to the London and Scottish Enquirer suggest that even morar likely to appear!

Hi TLC.
Very thoughtful of you to ensure I'm not idle this W/E, ha,ha! Interesting-looking bedtime reading, but not tomorrow. Off to a model railway show and the pub in the evening. May comment later if the brain survives it!
Regards and have a good weekend, R.

Hi Sam.
As Glen says, "spot on," but don't forget the 'quaisi-capitalist legal leeches' who will be involved in drafting the legal documents framing the planning permits/permission wringing out the last drop of legal fees! Whatever one's politics, it's all down to the growing cult of self-interest, snout in any trough going and to hell with everyone else!
I'm sure RM would have an interesting perspective on this!
Never mind, onwards and upwards, roll on October and keep happy!
Regards to all here and have a good weekend, R.

Bless you Yayay, R.

Morning all.
This thread is getting a bit gloomy!
TLC, among the long list of documents in Glen's list are a few letters of support!
Yayay, I doubt that the company posts RNS's in "excitement," but in my post yesterday I expressed the view that some previous ones did not give information that was in context of it's nature/source/likely accuracy and that when things did not pan out as expected, left the company open to criticism, argument and even excursions to Sooth Worcestershire! This last RNS was not IMO one of those as it indicated the likely delay and explained it's nature sufficiently for us to realize that it conveyed the best estimate in the circumstances which may or not be realized as it is not entirely within the control of the company.

Glen puts the delay in context.............it's only a few months. Hey, if it doesn't come through for your birthday, maybe it'll come for mine...........Halloween!!! Can't you tell? LoL!
Cheer up and regards to all, R.

PS. I miss South Worcestershire!

Hi Yayay.
I share your view and have previously posted that a number of statements by the company in the past have been too exact and/or not put into proper context, so exposing itself to criticism when expectations are not fully realized often (to be fair) when beyond the company's control.
I'll try and remember your birthday as it is the same date as that of one of my grand-daughters. Then I can welcome you to the senile delinquent's club. LoL! Yet another investor with Scotgold's success on his bucket list!
Regards, R.

Hi Yayay.
I reckon that TLC is right that disclosure of third parties awaiting 'signing off' is not desirable, but IMO not for the reason of future projects (at least not yet) that he suggests. From the link that Glen has just given to the planning authority, one can see from the very long list of documents, a number of consulted organizations that must be satisfied under the conditions of the planning permission, the granting of which does not give the simple 'go-ahead' that most people believe. All that Scotgold have agreed to do and adhere to will no doubt have to be seen to be done correctly and 'signed off' at specified stages of the project construction and indeed over the entire life of the mine and the Cononish project to restoration, not only to the NPA, but also with bodies such as the environment agency, water authority, local council etc, etc. Scotgold will have to work with all these bodies for a very long time, so 'ruffling any feathers' would be a potential own goal. I have experienced/observed such ongoing permitting in other projects, so one should not expect this one to be different. Frustrating for delays and I'm sure for RG, but that is just how it is and must be dealt with. Hope that helps.
Regards, R.

Morning all.
A little reminder for Joe public.
http://www.heraldscotland.com/business_hq/16416742.miner-still-going-for-scottish-gold-in-2019/
I wonder if any other media has/will picked it up/been given it?
Regards to all, R.

Evening all.
News at last! We really are nearly there! Shame about the delay as bureaucrats and legal leeches milk it for the last bit of their gravy train, but that's par for the course.
Nice to get a project update. Lets hope that this will be the first of many more and some attention paid to updating some parts of the website to raise the company profile and interest. Might even do the SP a bit of good!
Looking forward to a mine construction visit next Spring (?) and an official opening later (?)!!!
Regards to all, R.

Hi Heid.
Hopefully you feel rumblings of the Greek god of war, rather than a tickling spider or the grumblings of an unfortunate sailor who was thrice shipwrecked!
