Couldn’t of said it better Bardz.
Bird in the hand n all that. Well I know I’d rather have a wedge now than in twenty years time that’s for sure, I don’t think I’m alone in that way of thinking as I think that probably a good 50% of investors here are over the age of 50.
Being selfish, as I am nearer 60 I still want to enjoy the spoils that I have fortunately found from this great investment. As they say, once in a lifetime.
But good luck to all you young whipper snappers here who see better value in 10-20 years time than in the next 1-2 years. I must admit, I’m not far off cashing out all my shares within my SIPP, but intend to let the isa’s run for the foreseeable, hopefully hitting Mickey’s target. Who knows we’re this will end up if Scallywag comes good. Keeping everything crossed for that one including my ball ****s

Dhanteras - Why don't you do as you suggest GGP does, and put up your shares at auction for the highest bidder.
I don't think you would have any problem's finding suiters.
The deal is done. Get over it FFS.

Being in GGP reminds me of watching the Ashes Test match cricket of the 70’s & 80’s.
We had Boycott, nothing flash, just plain old, stand at the crease all day and make slow & steady progress whilst fending off bombs being hurled at him from the likes of Thompson & Lillie.
He got us off to a good steady start, reaching his century in what seemed to be an age whilst his fellow top order batsmen struggled to find their feet after being dismissed by some rippers of a ball.
After getting the score ticking along to 250 for 5 and feeling safe from an innings collapse, it’s time to get those helmets on boys shouts the Aussie skipper as out steps Beefy Botham to smash the ball out the park in double quick time.
This is we’re I see GGP at this moment in time. But in this scenario it’s a bloody Aussie whose about to smash it out the park.
Onwards & Upwards fellow Greatlanders.
Let’s do this.

For all you guys who seem to think we have given away BH & PRE far to cheap. Can I suggest you buy into Newcrest where you will feel absolutely fantastic that your MD struck up an unbelievable deal to snatch BH & PRE for a pittance.
For me I’m sticking to what I know, and that is, Gervaise & Callum have done an absolute stirling job up to now, so why would I want to think anything differently about the negotiations that have been realised without me or anyone of us on this BB being privy to what went on in the board room.
If your not happy & you think you know better then you have only a week to wait before you can ask them what their reasons were for striking such a deal.

IP Survey 2019

A high powered, deep sensing Induced Polarisation (“IP”) survey successfully extended the strike length of a chargeability anomaly spatially coincident with gold mineralisation identified at surface by a further 400m
Results of the IP survey confirm the location of the chargeability anomaly identified in 2018 and extend the anomaly a further 400m to the south-east.
The total length of the chargeability anomaly now exceeds 1,400m
Ground Gravity Surveys 2019

Greatland has completed ground gravity surveys over the entire Black Hills licence and adjacent Havieron licence, which have identified three new geophysical targets in the Black Hills area:
Parlay – Located in the south-western corner of the Black Hills licence, the Parlay target includes magnetic and gravity anomalies on an interpreted key lithological and structural contact.
Black Hills North – Located to the north of recent drilling, Black Hills North comprises coincident gravity, magnetic and IP anomalies.
Black Hills South – Located on Greatland’s Havieron licence (E45/4701), Black Hills South is a very high amplitude gravity anomaly located at the interpreted closure of the Black Hills Dome to the south of outcrop under relatively thin cover (approximately 50m).

Greatland’s second drill campaign at Black Hills 2019

Focusused on Saddle Reefs prospect
A total of twenty RC holes for 5,846m were drilled
to depths ranging from 154m to 500m
All holes sampled from surface to end of hole as four metre composites
Results received to date confirm the presence of gold mineralisation at the Saddle Reefs prospect
Encouraging initial four metre composite results with several broad intersections subparallel to a large Induced Polarisation (“IP”) chargeability response
Best four metre composite results include:
36m at 0.53g/t Au and 0.21% Cu from 104m (SRRC007),
including 4m at 1.65g/t Au from 104m
36m at 0.36g/t Au from surface (0m) (SRRC010)
12m at 0.57g/t Au from 32m (SRRC011
56m at 0.56g/t Au from 68m in hole (SRRC012),
including 4m at 2.52g/t Au from 76m
Results received from resampling at 1 metre intervals confirm the presence of high-grade gold mineralisation at the Saddle Reefs prospect.
Best results include:
13m @ 2.01g/t Au from 67m (SRRC012), including
2m @ 7.38g/t Au from 77m
12m @ 1.38g/t Au from 32m (SRRC011), including
1m @ 10.96g/t Au from 35m
36m @ 0.35g/t Au from surface (0m) (SRRC010)
19m @ 0.51g/t Au from 118m (SRRC007)
New drill results are considered very positive with several intervals greater than 5g/t gold, indicating the potential for a fertile gold system at Black Hills.

The Black Hills licence lies 30 km east of the large Telfer gold mine. Covering 25 square kilometres it sits adjacent to the Company’s Havieron exploration licence.

The Black Hills area is regarded as having high potential for hosting gold deposits similar in style to Newcrest’s Telfer Mine.

Greatland acquired the Black Hills gold project in late 2017 – now 100% owned (E45/4512)
Sits adjacent to the north-western border of Greatland’s Havieron licence
Prospective for high-grade, near-surface gold mineralisation
Comprehensive review of historic data carried out by Greatland has identified four distinct areas of gold mineralisation (Saddle Reefs, Eastern, Rogers and Northern Granites)
Saddle Reefs has a north-westly trend and results from sporadic historic drilling include 3m at 9.14g/t gold from 26m downhole, including 1m at 21.2g/t from 27m, in hole CBR073
This zone is in the core of an anticlinal feature and, overall, is gold prospective over a strike length of approximately 3km
Greatland’s maiden exploration campaign at Black Hills: Commenced in June 2018

Multiple gold nuggets and gold pieces in bedrock discovered in first few days of field activities reveal the area is prospective with numerous indications of mineralisation in bedrock
Gossanous samples have been collected from outcrop and gold nuggets have been found within thin sand cover at the prospect
High-grade gold detected in rock chip samples
11 of 28 samples collected returned over 10g/t gold, best gold results include 81.7g/t, 45.7g/t, 37.6g/t
Strong surface gold mineralisation is present at the Saddle Reefs prospect
rock chips including 55.6g/t, 20.0g/t, 19.65g/t, 18.45g/t and 17.0g/t
Rock chip sample results from Saddle Reefs have established an 800 metre strike length of surface gold mineralization
Recent 3DIP survey outlined a large, virtually untested, buried target at Saddle Reefs over 1,000m of strike, which is coincident with high-grade gold mineralisation at surface
The Eastern prospect is a linear zone of gold mineralised stratigraphy apparent over a strike of approximately 4km
Surface rock chip results include 1.9g/t, 1.2g/t and 1.0g/t Au
Historic broad spaced drilling along the zone has returned results including 1m at 10.0g/t gold from 16m (CBH138), 1m a 4.93g/t from 12m (CBH071) and 1m at 3.12g/t from 37m (NBH004)
The mineralisation appears to track along a structural contact and the focus will be on identifying the higher grade mineralisation along this trend
The other prospects of Rogers and Northern Granites show gold mineralisation at surface with rock chip results including 50.2g/t and 10.45g/t at Rogers and 6.9g/t at Northern Granites
Historic drill testing is limited but results have included 1m at 1.48g/t from 38m (NBH008) at Rogers and 1m at 2.35g/t gold from 5m (CBH253) at Northern Granites

C'mon, who was it, who's just paid off their mortgage. Napthman1 will have your guts for garters.

Im in deep, LOL

Being in GGP in many ways reminds me of going fishing for specimen beasts that lurk in deep waters.
First of all we have shoved plenty of bait in to our swim and then wait very patiently for the action to begin.
After not much happening at first, we get a sign of something taking an interest and decide to throw a bit more bait in to see if we can tempt the beast to strike.
We then get a few false alarms with some spratts taking a nibble, then it all goes quiet again.
We sit there in the belief that we know we have everything correctly set up and it’s just a waiting game.
Suddenly the waters become a little bit choppy and uncertainty creeps in, but as soon as it calm’s down, “ WHAM “, we have the biggest fish in the pond on the hook.
Your hearts going ten to the dozen, sweat exiting from every pore, and your brain in overdrive thinking about not letting this one get away like some you had lost in the past.
Happy fishing Boys

Hey Napthman - Like Mr T said, Stop all your Jibba Jabba Fool.

Hydrogen hi, It's nice to see someone being very truthful for once when you said "I have no idea how many funds track the index".
I just wish some on here would follow your lead instead of posting complete ball ****'s on a subject they have no idea about just to make themselves feel important in their own world.
I applaud you for your honesty.

Iseo395 - I think you have answered your own question. Of course you would sell the shares in the trading account first.
If you are planning to keep any, ie in the isa, then why would you sell them when they are totally free from tax. If you kept the trading account ones, you are literally collecting tax for the government at a later date, Simples.
