There is Raglan and Blue Mountains, but only one mining licence.
The mining licence is for Raglan that the current owners want to get rid of it because...???...??? (a) They are bored of it (b) there's not a lot of gold there (c) recovery of gold too expensive (d) it's producing A$10,000,0000 a year and they just don't know how to spend the profit?
Once all the Due Diligence / testing equipment is done, then the legal aspect, we may well be into November.
Now ECR have never been a company that just digs up the ground, washes it and gets gold out of the ground. We have all seen RNS after RNS how they talk about trenching, getting a drill on site to produce cores and then going to the lab for testing and when those results come back more testing will be done as the next steps. This is all justified by ECR saying they are looking for the best spots to start mining in. I believe once the sale goes through there will be a series of buckets full of dust go to the lab followed by a wait for a drill rig to get core samples, all under the guise of ECR want to identify the best place to position their washer, but all the time delaying the start of gold production. That will get them through Q4 2025 and more free shares (9,000,000+?) to those that get them (will the 'consultant' be paid in shares?). That will bring them to Q1 2026 where I think they will place again and this time I feel they may state that the money is needed to get Raglan into production and to apply for a full mining licence for BM (3 months +??).
Blue Mountains I doubt any commercial mining that requires a full mining will take place in 2025. They don't have a full mining licence and there isn't time to apply and Mining Department consider the application before the Christmas / end of year shut down starts.
How many shares did Nick get at the end of September 2025 (Q3)?
