Hi Morar.
Good to hear from you. Early retirement recommended! I hope you enjoy it, but beware! I've retired three times since my first early retirement at 55. Beware tempting phone calls! I only finally retired 11 years later! LoL! Have a great time!
Regards, R.

Hi Canobie.
Nowt like being hopeful. You could send in your CV.
Regards, R.

Morning all.
The new recruits will need feeding. How's the tatties crop going in Scotland? Another developing mine might help:

Scotgold may be constrained until the legal ink is dry, but they could learn a thing or two on promotion from Sirius IMO, starting with the website. Those I speak to are often surprised to hear of this project.
Mine's with neeps!
ATB, R.

Morning all.
TLC, nice to have you back with great news.
Glen and Eck, I have to agree that the website needs an update and used for news not appropriate to an RNS to raise the company profile as Glen has outlined. I emailed the company on this a while ago, but did not get a response.
Yayay, I'm sure that once key, experienced appointments are made, then training local recruits can begin and employment grants accessed.
Wish i had a few bob to top up just now!
Regards to all, R.

Hi Canobie.
For so long you have had a 'plan' and now you have a 'suspicion' and a 'theory,' One of these days you might even discover facts and give us news rather than 'fake news.' I'm glad that you have caught up and worked out that NLR wants to make money.as that is usually why one builds a gold mine rather than a canal. Please keep posting.
Regards, R.

How's this for a Scottish gold nugget?

Just for you BBB. Scotgold want to take good care of their new funding in reputed Scottish fashion by appointing a Bookkeeper:

Anyone fancy it?

Thanks Glen for an interesting story. If there really is that much gold down there, let's hope that Putin doesn't send a modern warship to back up their claim on the gold and plant the Russian flag on Ulleungdo Island as they did on Crimea!
Regards, R.

HI again TLC7.
On thoughts.................."congrats to one of our longest serving employees"............and "see you on the other side".................has someone left or retired at Scotgold and they've offered you a job???............OMG!!!
It could be:

I'm off this thread. It's getting scary!
Regards to all, R.

Hi Troajan.
A survivor like Apollo 13?
Regards, R.

Hi TLC7.
Ta for Michael Buble..................."It's time" for you to come back as TLC007???
Or are you on cloud 9, having bought some new wheels?
Regards, R.

Hi Yayay.
I'm not with it either. It's Monday morning for Pete's sake!
Cryptic? RM would get it.
HAND to all, R.

Happy days?..............welcome to the long grass!

Hi BBB.
That sounds like a coal-mining term? Elsewhere can be 'milling' and 'rolling.'
Ears to the ground for drilling, blasting and mucking!
Regards, R.

Hi TLC>
Good news, but I wish that progress such as this would be reported on the company website, rather than leave it to the grapevine and tweets. I emailed Scotgold on this last week. At least the photo-gallery has come alive again, but could do with a few new pictures to show preparations. Communication can raise interest and profile. At least if we have a mine manager, we must soon be getting a start on a mine!
Regards, R.

Hi Glen.
No-one has owned up to being superstitious for next Friday! Never mind, next Saturday is my good lady's birthday, so hopefully that will be lucky for England!
Regards, R.

Hi TLC, glen and canobie.

Don't get too excited about his visit. He will be meeting the Queen and Mrs. May on Friday the 13th............anyone superstitious? LoL!

Glen, Ta for the Baird video link. I don't know if Donald will fly by Cononish, but it seems that an inflatable version of him as a baby (without his trousers!!!) may fly over London!!!

Canobie, if Donald makes it near to Cononish, will you reveal your much-announced tourist plan? I agree that higher profile support from the Scottish government would be desirable and even from Donald on the basis that any publicity is good publicity, but I and (IMO) the company would be unlikely to welcome controversy as it would be food for detractors and trolls!

Hope all goes well, but my attention will be on the World Cup today and next weekend.

Have a good weekend all, R.

Hi TLC.

That's twice in the last two weeks you've asked that question in a reply to me. I've seen loads of published data since 2013. Single rock-chip, boulder, stream or soil samples don't make a mine, but concentrated clusters might. Channel or core samples and strike length indications would make a target. Scotgold will have much more detailed data than is published and it's the quality of the data that no doubt the new geologists will be looking at for a target. So it's these young guns you need to ask rather than a retired, armchair geo! Then there's consideration of further items of interest from Dr Hill's researches, such as the area north to Bridge of Orchy above much deeper rooted, but shallower granite where ores may be predominantly magmatic in origin (eg. Auch Estate) and pyrite associated rather than in part orogenic and galena associated as in the Tyndrum Area. Even the orogenic source, sedimentary beds in the Easdale Series might be worthy of attention.

Wish I were younger.............such fun to be had.............ouch! Damned arthritis! 'Florence' says it's time to get off this magic roundabout and off to bed.

Regards, R.

Hi milender.
Thanks for that. I'm local too and will pop in to visit. Good to see the company informing and engaging with local communities.
Regards, R.

Back to sleep............zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Regards to all here, R.
