Shaun, BOD and tomorrow24 Jan 2025 19:46
Redirons, Sureasblazes,
You are right, I think we should have lost our investments in GGP if the world had any logic, but some times luck is on your side.
Our luck was Shaun Day, coming in, whoever selected him, needs to be complimented.
What he has done it taking GGP through the obstacle course of the years since I found GGP, by accident, has been nothing short of incredible, little did I know that the company I was investing in (in the second half of 2020) was on its way to liquidation, having more commitments than it could finance.
I don't know the field of people that could have steered the company along this road, but I am sure that there are not many, and not many that would have took on the challenge.
I think there will be more curved balls, but the management and BOD he has put together is outstanding, but this team have dealt with most of them successfully in the past and I fully expect them to do so in the future.
Normally it is the BOD that recruit the CEO/MD , I know of no situation other than expanding single owner companies where this situation has happened, and I think there may be very few or none that have recruited a BOD of the calibre and status of the BOD that Shaun has recruited.
I have had a few wobbles but I have held (often wrongly) through it all and I now see a BRIGH light at the end of the Tunnel I cannot see how long the tunnel is but that is normal, drive through any tunnel and you will understand.
Having got here I think we are at the real start of Northern Star Resources Ltd version 2, as Shaun always said about 30% of Havieron we had a better starting place than NS, I think we have a more established BOD.
All of these thing are in place and I hope we can do nearly as well and having done it once, as anyone knows the first time is the learning curve so second time, should be quicker.
