Member Info for Rockhead

Hi RM. The AIM smoke and mirrors as ever? Perhaps we should try spread-betting instead? Now who might give advice on such? Did I hear mention of frying pans and fires? Can't be riskier than decorating the Xmas tree with the grand-kids! Seasonal regards, R.

Hi Bigbadbaz. Life 'under water' can be irksome, especially if you've previously vowed not to put in any more cash, but you're a man of patience for over 7 years as I recall. At least having hung on to your cash, you can afford to fill that glass for this Xmas! You'll just have to coffin-dodge for maybe another five to get yer dosh back! Ho, ho, ho! Seasonal Regards, R.

Afternoon all. An impressive barrage of EIAs from DA, notably including reference to progressive learning and improving restoration. It gives the potential for this project to be a benchmark for any similar future projects in Scotland instead of neglecting our own natural resources, relying on foreign supply at cost to this country and environmental damage to under-developed and developing countries, as has happened for decades. Speech over! Now all we need is the parkies to give Scotgold due credit and a rapid PP! REgards, R.

Canobie. Beware offering advice with your record of posting! SXX will I'm sure be a good LT investment, but SGZ is at last potentially, rather closer to fruition. Regards, R.

Morning Baz72 and Yayay. You may well be right about brokers. Mine had a 04-12 cut-off, took the option off yesterday, it's back on today, but the corporate actions tab is blank so one can't deal. Sounds like the Brexit talks! LoL! Regards, R.

Afternoon Eck. Well reminded. We don't know the reason, but higher than expected pressures on administration likely. As you say, if the parkies don't delay things, then the company will oblige. LoL! Your Kindergarten declaration puts me in the nursery then! I like to spread my frustrations........lots of small ones are easier to bear...........ha, ha! Looks like back to sleep until the New Year, but at least my better half will benefit from myself and Scotgold on Xmas Day! Regards to all here, R.

Hi TLC7. Thanks for the link...........all positive. Re tourism and earlier discussion on future of the BPT kit. SGZ doesn't need it as Cononish is the proof for Cononish 2, etc. Get the �50-60k back for it that will pay for most of next year's Grampian Project research or more of it.....hint! Modern visitor centres don't need noisy, high energy-consuming demonstrations. They need slick displays, virtual and interactive experiences (like 'Electric Mountain' in N.Wales, many tourist centres and modern museums), plus bookable (for a fee) mine and process plant tours for the more adventurous can be offered. For the interactive, the centre could offer (for a fee) a gold-panning challenge with crushed ore replenished occasionally from the mine.........can you pan enough to get a refund on your fee? Plus of course the inevitable shop and jewelers. Oh dear! I'm starting to sound like Canobie now! Oh no, I've actually stated some ideas...........phew! Shame about the PP delay. The 'parkies' must want excuse for a long Xmas break and shopping! Mini-rant over! Regards and a good weekend to all here, R.

Evening all. Funny (or not!) how every time there is the slightest setback, the moaners pop out of their lairs! At least Canobie feels encouraged whereas Mr. Grumble is on usual form and of course info relevant for an RNS must be released as soon as known. I'm sure RG didn't have a good morning. Never mind, have a good holiday Baz. May the sun brighten you up! Regards, R.

HI TLC7 and Glen. Thanks for added info from the AGM. All interesting and encouraging. Regards, R.

Hi Glen. Nice to hear you are having such a good time in the sunshine. Please send some my way as it's dire in NE Yorkshie with biting wind and wintry showers queuing up to dump on us. Time for a dram! Regards, R.

Hi Glen. Glad you all had a good time. Hi Eck and Yayay. You have both said it all for me too. One last roll of the dice then! Regards to all, R.

Hi all. Well that was short and sweet. For those of you there, have a good afternoon in the bar! LoL! Fingers crossed for the PP. Re Dalradian. The PP could be a year or two in the making and involve a public inquiry, but hey, they've raised over $260m in last 2 months. With that in the bank, perhaps we might ask them to spare Scotgold a bit from their petty cash! Canadian sources seem keen to splash the cash, so maybe RG should try tapping them up? HAND, R.

Evening all. All quiet on here, so I guess you are all off to the AGM. As I can't make it, best wishes to all and have a good time! Regards, R.

Morning all. And subsequent posts over the weekend were even less so! All very amusing and interesting, but I'll leave it to anyone else to comment! See yer later, ha, ha! Regards, R.

Thanks silversurger. It's on ii too. A bargain offer for Black Friday! You couldn't make it up! LoL! Must be worth a punt as it's not the 13th today and today's date knocks on my door number! Gotta be lucky, ha, ha! Good luck and a good weekend to all on here. Regards, R.

Morning Glen. Yes, the SEPA comment mostly sensible environmental precaution presented in insensible terms............par for the course! As for selling the tailings/waste rock, nice to offset costs if economic, but the lorry traffic would upset walkers and hill-huggers and the NP would probably want a traffic management plan. It would keep some small minds and pen-pushers occupied! Regards, R.

Hi Eck. What's next to burn then? With incomes/growth/inflation forecasts from Hammond and the OBR, you might need to draw up a list!!!

Thanks Glen. Glad I don't go there then! Another one offering a sofa! Thanks, but you keep it handy. When my better half hears about the RI, I might need it to sleep on! Regards, R.

Afternoon TLC7. Thanks for your pondering, but don't give in to insomnia on my part. Hot milk and whisky needed! So many unknowns and potential upsides to think on. Despite my expressed reservation, I have previously posted that I find the personal and financial commitment of people in the company a positive sign and this is set to continue in the RI it seems. Hopefully any further equity in 2018 will NOT include any further RI (a big ask of PIs?) or be open offer. Rather it would be in terms of placing, bonds or supplier and hopefully they will not be too greedy! Thanks for the offer to buy your sofa, but I could only stretch to a deckchair, ha, ha! Regards, R.

Evening all. Thank you Eck for the even-handed appraisal, TLC7 for your positive views and Glen for the link. I have one query from the RI RNS that you guys may like to comment upon or raise at the AGM. The 2nd fundraising is described as 'a combination of equity, debt and vendor (equipment lease) finance'. If the equity part is as placing of shares or convertible bonds, then it is very likely to remain in 'sticky hands' and will IMO likely have little effect on the SP. If it includes any element of further RI or open issue, and/or if the financiers play 'hard-ball' for a significant discount, then the SP could be depressed to more like 20p, which makes the current RI less attractive. Such was the case IMO for SXX in their first fund raise which ~halved their SP. No complaints as I sold before at ~50p and have since bought back in at ~25p! OK I know the two are not really comparable, but for the above reasons, some clarity as to the company's 'equity' intentions in the 2nd fund raise would be desirable for PIs. Oh dear! I'm starting to sound a bit like a certain other poster!!! Despite this I am inclined towards taking up the RI offer. Please excuse the dubious financial logic of a 'rockhead', but your comments would be appreciated as would a query to the AGM that I can't attend. I have donned my hard-hat! LoL! Regards to all, R.
