More news tomorrow?
Rio maybe more porvenir.

My guess is aliens planted it there if we don't find more mineralisation.

Geo there is nothing to have a balanced argument about imo.
Its a couple of drill holes and a large intersection of about 800m of copper.
If there are more holes like this we are looking at another large resource if not we will have to question how the hell the 1st 800m got there :-)

Stop it being built up and then taken back down.
Just an idea and as plausible as the bhp theory?

Tos maybe solg would like to stabilise the sp

Dart, they got the next 3 drill rigs going pretty quickly though.
I'd say when the motivation is right things get done quickly.
Is it coincidence that bhp lock in finished just as copper and gold prices are rising.

Agreed.
Porvenir results are extremely good so let's hope for a few more holes with similar/better grades and some assays from the core when we hit.
2021 shaping up nicely.
Good to see the bb is a much happier place at the moment.

An Example from Today
I think it would be useful to have a look at one of the world’s lowest grade copper mines operating today.

For the 2011 year Boliden’s Aitik mine milled 31.5 million tonnes at a head grade of 0.24% copper, 0.16g/t gold and 2.0g/t silver. At the end of 2011 it had reserves of 710 million tonnes at a grade of .25% copper, .13g/t gold and 1.6g/t silver. Resources totalled 1.7 billion tonnes at 0.18% copper, 0.11g/t gold and 1.0g/t silver.

Aitik is located within the Arctic Circle in Sweden, where temperatures reach -45o C in winter. The reason the mine is profitable at such low grades is that it is one of the most efficient mines in the world. The mine features in-pit crushing, underground and overland conveyers, two gigantic 22.5MW gearless mill drives, etc. It is highly automated and the entire system can be run on HTC smartphones.

Final Word
The point is that “low grade” depends upon where you stand in time. Once 2% was rubbish, now the time approaches when 0.2% will be gangbusters.

In sum – go for porphyry, go for big.

I think the average porphyr grade has dropped from 0.6 to 0.4 in recent times.
Porvenir drilled 800m from surface I find it difficult to believe any true solg holders are not excited about this.
Gla

Not at all addicknt merely pointing out this was driven by cgp saying they want to change the board and feels like solg are saying no problems and sticking 2 fingers up.
I agree it look like they are moving forwards with these changes.

2 fingers up at cgp.
Fair to say cgp were the driver to these changes.

Dishonest to say the least.
Fortunately easy to spot and the repeat tactics easy to spot.
Jog on son.

Got a couple letters on my mat today.
Have sent private message through the aj Bell app and received response saying my vote will be sent to relevant party.
Backing NM all the way as he got me here and was a large part of my continued investment.
Fingers crossed

£1 -£1.32 also needs filling

Hardly world beating grades and size.
Couple of shovels should get that lot out.

Mrshiba that's all well and good but 3 times its been promised so this to me is not welcome and slightly frustrating.
What next delay for elections, delay until bfs?
Fine by me if it gets the right outcome but this has been going on for 18 months now.
Nick needs to get this regional stuff out now pretty sharpish

Exactly Grim.
Was no need to drop that rns as we've been kept in the dark so long already.

Biden and his trillions being pumped into economy will drive gold price in January.
Copper already on an upwards trajectory.
Rns is just delay tactics.

Richy, cgp need to contribute as and when needed once the dfs is completed.

Dbw a good point. Yes we as holders should vote in favour but in the last 18 months we have been kept in the dark.
How about next week some assays from regionals and dare I say it but the pfs.
I to will hold for for a couple of weeks.
