Hey Speedie, that did make me chuckle 🤭 But use the one on your phone and turn it sideways. 🤪

All this talk about GGP selling their 30% is just poppyc0ck.

The only way that would happen, is, if Shaun recommend to us shareholders to accept whatever offer was put forward, and even then, it would be a bit of a stretch, depending on what that offer was tabled, for the majority of shareholders to agree to.

I personally don’t think the likes of 19/20p (£1Billion) would cut the mustard. But it would be nice to know what figure SD puts on it when quoting “Eye Watering”. Maybe it’s a question that someone like The Roast guys or Liam (Aim on Air) should be asking, as it was Shaun himself who coined the phrase, so shouldn’t be surprised to be asked for the answer.

If sold, where does that leave GGP and this board of galactico’s that’s been assembled ?

From day one of Shaun’s tenure, his vision for the company has always been one of copying the business model of his former employer Northern Star, and as he puts it, with a much better asset to help kick things off.

His recruitment policy as far as I can see, definitely doesn’t show he’s changed his plans, so why do many of you ?

The last thing he wants to do is sell the goose that will keep laying golden eggs each day for decades to come.

If an offer does come in, It’ll be a little like a genie granting you two wishes.

First wish, accept £1M today, or Second wish, Gives you a bag with a pound in it, then every day for a month (31 days) the price of the money in the bag magically double’s in value.

Which wish would you choose ?

Tymers 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 that’s the first legible post I’ve seen from you in quite a while.

Keep it up 👍

What good is Bitcoin if the lights go out.

You won’t even be able to access it, never mind trade with it.

At least gold is a physical entity, you can’t trade fresh air as far as I know.

Freddie, have you ever heard the saying “They’re Big enuf & Daft enuf, to look after themselves” ?

I’m pretty sure that if anybody needs protecting from anyone here, then it’s you !

Who dya think you are, The Equalizer.

“He would know nothing about what newmont are going to do that was my point actually”

Did he ever say he did ?

Your mind working overtime again Freddie ?

Where’s Wilma when you need her.

Freddie, nobody was knocking Goggles.

He asked Bamps why he thought Newmont wouldn’t be putting an offer in the buy GGP’s 30%.

Bamps never even discussed that in his post. What he actually said if you’d care to read it, is that it should stop any rumours that they (Newmont) would be selling their 70% of Havieron.

How are those two statements even linked ?

So get off your high horse, and reflect what you’ve said, before once again accusing folk of saying things they didn’t.

And the other stupid thing you said about Bamps not knowing anything, just like the rest of us, then in the next sentence, accuse him to having privileged information !

Which is it ? He knows nothing or he knows everything.

Looks a bit small for a 3mtpa operation to me 😂

YNWA, look at the end of the day, I suppose anything could happen, but looking at this the way I do, which is to not get to involved in the if’s but’s & maybe’s, then as far as I can see, since the opening up of the boxcut, whether it has been Newcrest or Newmont, everything is going to plan, and I’m of the opinion that neither of our JV partners have deliberately slowed things down. If they had, we’d still be only halfway down the decline.

Like Bamps has said, the mining plan has changed since it’s original draft, and if it takes longer to build a successful decline, so be it.

I’d rather them get there safely and without incident, than go at it like a bull in a china shop, just to keep us shareholders happy.

Yes I agree with you, that once that rubber stamp has been stamped onto the official DTM document, then there’s no excuse as to why the SP shouldn’t see a significant rise, but again, I wouldn’t bet my bottom dollar on it. It all depends on the anticipated date of when production might start. The way I’m reading this, I personally think it’s going to be 2025 before I can see any meaningful uplift in the value of my holding, I hope I’m wrong, but I know at some point, it will happen, and I’ll still be here to collect.

Rashpurchase, I don’t know where you got your figures from, but they seem miles away from what we already know.

Just a couple of obvious mistakes on that list would be, Wyloo, where are they on your list. Legal & General also hold 121 million shares, not the 16.5 million on your list.

I could go on picking holes in it, but just pointing out that your list is a little outdated.

YNWA, what does it matter if, and it’s a big if, Newmont have been a bit slow at coming forward.

If your suggesting Newmont will try a cheeky little bid, to get us on the cheap, then imo, there’s not a chance of em pulling it off.

We have a BOD’s who are definitely not wet behind the ears when it comes to knowing just how much an asset is potentially worth to them.

I can just picture Shaun & Jimmy Wilson’s reaction, once they’ve opened the sealed envelope and viewed the bid, with Newmonts representative sat there with documentation in hand for them to sign.

Sorry guys but I couldn’t resist saying this.

Euston we have a problem 😂

Kinell Sisu, talk about GGP divesting Havieron all you like, doesn’t mean it will happen !

After reading through you back catalogue, I see you’ve been pushing this agenda since September 23, I wonder why ?

Newmont can offer what the hell they like, but unless us Pi’s vote it through, it means diddly squat.

Unless they offer an eye watering sum of money for our 30%, I’m afraid they will be wasting their’s & our time.

Apparently you been hearing whispers from your grandmother’s, estranged husband’s nieces, second cousin removed, that we are going to sell our only imminent cash flow producing asset for a pittance.

Well guess what, not on your Nelly will that be happening.

Who do you take us for ? Because the only MUG around here is you.

You think you are a one man crusade, just as in the film of your name, but let me tell you something, we as a collective are going nowhere. Most here have been on this journey for quite a while now, and we’ve seen many a troll try to disrupt the patience of us long standing shareholders, but to no avail.

May I suggest, that next time you try to attempt a coup d’tat, it might just help your cause, by providing a shred of evidence, to support your blatant overt attempt to unseat an incumbent membership of GGP shareholders.

But as per normal, I will just toss your posts into the bin where they belong.

And all that, after a full day on the pi55.

You need to be up early to catch this worm out.

Hi Jerry, I totally agree with you.

You tell of your experience’s for free, hoping some might gain a little from it.

But seems like everyone these days knows better than the generation that’s actually done it.

Like you say, we needn’t have bothered, let em learn as per usual, the hard way !

Neither Freddie, like you assumed, I started off with nothing except a table saw and a few hand held power tools, eventually ending up with 55,000 sq ft of factory units, full of cnc machining centres, edgebanders, beam saws etc etc. manufacturing bespoke units to the kitchen, bedroom, shop fitting industry, until I decided to retire back in 2020.

So when I say “Been there & got the T-shirt”, I really have.

That business gave me everything I have today, including a portfolio of BTL’s which provide me a decent standard of living, and though you always have a pop at me for not taking the cash on offer at 38p, I’m not going to be destitute anytime soon.

If you’ve followed my posting history, you will see that this investment isn’t the be all & end all for me. It’s something that my kids will probably inherit, if all things pan out the way I envisage. The only thing that could possibly upset that, would be if GGP go on to sell their 30% to Newmont, as is suggested here every other day.

If they do, then I’m sure I’ll still come out of this investment smelling of roses, but my preferred preference would be to go mining, and reap the benefits over the next few decades, not the here & now.

We all have different plans as to how we would like this to pan out, obviously mine is different to yours, it what makes the world go round.

I’ve said to you before, I hope you get everything out of this you want, so I just don’t know why you feel the need to try and stick the knife in as often as you do.

Maybe it’s because I’m an optimist and you’re a pessimist, who knows, but do feel free to stop passing all your pessimistic views onto others. There’s enough crap going on in the outside world, for it to be spread on here.

And by the way ATB

Horult I’m not being funny when I say this, but if I were in a position that I only had a £100 pm to invest, I definitely wouldn’t be choosing the stock market.

I’d probably make a greater & faster return, down at the car boot sale or umpteen auction sites like bidspotter to buy & flip, using my own skills, rather than gambling that the stock you chose, would make you a return.

But your correct in thinking that if you have large enough funds to invest, then by far, the stock market is the preferred place to do business.

Fortunately I can’t see myself anytime soon, trading bric a brac, although I have used Industrial auctions to make more than a few quid.

You’ll be surprised what you can buy a two year old cnc machine, costing over a £100k when new, at auction for.

Fund not find

Horult, I’m not saying there are not a few dinosaurs still lurking around, but there are a lot more online brokerages out there, were fees are very reasonable.

You’ve got to ask yourself just one question. “How do these free sites, find themselves”, it’s not because their staff work for free, and with the amount of advertising they do to promote themselves, they are getting money from somewhere.

I’ll give you one guess as to where.

I’m going to leave it at that (TFFT I hear Freddie saying) as I’m just pointing out to you, that all that glitters is not GOLD. Excuse the pun.

ATB

You know what it’s like being a boss Freddie, you’ve got to keep an eye on the trouble makers all the time 😂

Bobrad, I’m trying to point out to you that this mystical high fees you think are the norm, are not. And from what I’ve witnessed with these so called free trading sites, is that they are not free, by the time, in some cases, taken days to execute a trade.

For the sake of £4 you could of got the price you wanted there & then, instead of gambling that by the time they had executed your trade, it wouldn’t of cost you more.

It’s got nothing to do with how much one earns, it’s about, as “The Rolling Stones” famously sang about, “You don’t always get what you want” when dealing with that type of company.

Just advice, nothing more, nothing less. What you choose to do with it, is up to you. But don’t shoot the messenger !
