RE: Is now the right time to look at the small cap Gold Miners ask @TMSreach25 Jul 2022 11:21
Matt. I normally like to read what you have to say, these comments are out of line today. I'm no geo, but I've learned enough that those two videos were largely telling me things I had already learned. Just because you're more knowledgeable on something doesn't mean you should disparage others.
I quoted the comments in the video at face value, based on the mindset of how you'd see things if you were learning this for the first time. As you say the reality is different. You should be less of a know all about it still Matt.
The geo says that open pit is classed as 10s of metres from the surface. Our gold is at the 100m+ point right? Going down to the 250/270m ish range? That's underground range according to the video. Yes I know the plan is to open pit the gold, but in the video he says stuff at our level is underground mining. For that he states he wants plenty of 5g/t +. 1g/t + for open pit of 50/60m down. BAM a lot deeper than that.
Drill results wise, plenty of good intersections. I've caught up with a fair few. Lots of 1,2,3 g/t intervals over varying lengths is my immediate recollection. I do not need to read the full NI43-101, the PEA RNS gives me everything I need to know.
The geo says he wants good management that have a record of success. Patagonia rinsed their shareholders over the years and destroyed their value. So poor that Bill had to 'retire'. I'll note how Landore got unlucky with the Nickel+ deposit so won't give them too hard a time for the SP here over the years, but it certainly is not a success just yet.
"This is a textbook, profitable, low risk, open pit gold mine in a top tier jurisdiction." I'd like to think this is true. From what I've read value of projects tends to be lowered as it goes through PFS and DFS stage as risks are quantified and criteria to mine generally being risk averse. I expect way more learned people than I to be assessing this of course.
