The next focusIR Investor Webinar takes places on 14th May with guest speakers from Blue Whale Growth Fund, Taseko Mines, Kavango Resources and CQS Natural Resources fund. Please register here.
.....and other dates of note in a section that should be subtitled "Patience":
HAV 1st gold/copper production H2 FY24
Red Chris 1st gold copper production FY27
.....and there are currently no serious plans for using Telfer ore to supplement HAV ore beyond 2024. Also O'Callaghans is hitting the back burner.
HAV is the one and only show in town for NC to keep Telfer going.
@Lenz
The formal transfer of the next % are in the process of being formalised. SO NCM have to use 40% figure for now but they do have 70% ownership. Page 88 of 94 footnote 6.
Also NCM state they use 1,400 for gold to account for resource they will never be able to recover. Can't recall where that is in tonight's documents.
The drumming rain woke me..... If only it were snow it would fall more quietly. ;-)
I do recall admiring all those pictures in the mining plan when they were first released. Even the otherwise useless dyke found a purpose hosting a tunnel!
Do you think a vertical shaft is now more likely to be used for shifting ore out? If they do a second decline they will want better conditions than what they currently have...... I say this after watching BottleR's interview with Artemis' AC last night where he described losing a drill to loose sand (!) somewhere within the top 400m cover I think. And that was despite using casings.....
Can't imagine anything worse part way into drilling a hot as he11 decline - a heap of sand cascading in on top of you.
I think this is not the greatest move, although I understand the less onerous reporting requirements save cash. There's a plethora of junior exploration companies currently on AIM with private investors desperate to move to the main market. It has more clout, credibility and status - particularly for the institutional investment community.
.....back into the bottom drawer for this holding
@Bamps
Sentinel 2 has its charms, particularly with a fresh image every five days, but I feel the radar was really the cake in many respects, and daylight images the icing, sprinkles, cherry and other decorative bling.....
This is very true just now in rainy season where every blotch looks like a possible drill pad - our tenement resembles an accident with the hundreds and thousands lid at the moment.
As for deliberate sabotage by Sandeep, such conspiracy theories are only worth stoking on wet Sunday afternoons.....
Hmmm, be back with you shortly to follow up on that topic.
"That's it right there, this will be a mine"
I paraphrase a quote from a fellow BB poster when HAD005 results were published. Wish I could recall and thank whoever it was.....
PS. @Bamps, with my beloved Sentinel 1 radar images joining the ranks of the dodo I was minded to search for a publication titled "Gentle Geology: An Introduction" or perhaps "Geological History - The First 5 Billion Years" to help pass the long winter nights. In the meantime I continue to seek out your quality posts in the midst of a swirling waste of electrons that constitutes much of what is written on this board.
Are the labs clearing their drill assay backlogs?
"Drilling activities have produced a further 14,481m of drilling from 18 drill holes since 30 September 2021. The latest assay results comprise results for 33 holes (5 holes completed this quarter, and 28 holes from the September quarter)."
This quarter started in December? (I could be wrong.....), So to have results back within 9 weeks including two weeks of lab shutdown for the Festive holidays.....
This may be even more good news in an RNS if true. Should be able to prove up the Eastern Breccia in reasonable time. I always wondered how they could put such a big rectangle on a plan view when it was first talked about with so few drill results - then of course they draw lines on resource maps with the advantage of Truscan results in mind.
@Zoros
Nothing that I can see but the Oz drill teams would've been away for Xmas/NY on a longer summer holiday than we had. Sentinel's recently had cloudy daylight images and the radar satellite, which can be the definitive proof of the pudding, has been broken since just before Christmas..... And according to newspaper articles it looks seriously broken.
Paddy got a fresh daylight image from planet com today, but I think he only reported vent construction activity east of the decline.
Stands out using SWIR filter.... Nothing similar for miles and miles and miles. Wonder if a lightning strike could've stared a fire in the tussock grass in the west, been blown south and east and sparks could've ignited the occasional tree on top of the lines of sand dunes and then crossed to set a few patches to the south alight. Before all fizzling out with too much sand and not enough fuel.
Just resurfacing after festivities....
And getting my head round some of Brew & Bamps pretty picture analysis.
Was then idly flicking through the 26th's daylight image and spotted this very odd dark bit way out to the north west of HAV.

I've zoomed in lots, so zoom out to get your bearings. Could it be the aftermath of a fire? It has very odd straight edges and appears to have partially jumped a dune.
Wasn't there two images ago. Previous image was cloudy in patches at the location.....
Anyone educate me as to what it could be?
