The closest you get to "X marks the spot" is when they report cores and the location is given in grid co-ordinates (easts and norths) which you then have to convert into latitude and longitude if you want to apply that back into Sentinel images.

- which always never worked for me !!

Until, recently, I discovered the Tengraph web site that includes a 7' offset factor into that conversion.

I like to think I am now looking at the right dune when trying to work out what is where.

@TallC
Tomorrow's, or Monday's, radar image compared with the most recent daylight image is the only fairly certain way of identifying active drill locations.

Otherwise it can be an exercise in staring at dots where you begin to find everything you wish for coming true.

@Bamps

Not that I'm giving you homework but.....(nervous LOL)....

Somewhere within the deluge of docs......

There's a Table 9.2, tonnage of waste rock that decline construction and mine (version 1.0, fraction of a fraction) wil produce.

Can you reverse engineer from these figures to see how close your own calculations are?

Or should I just stick to loops of pretty pictures like this (remove the sp aces) and stay away from the rocky stuff:

Did you look at the trading activity at the time? I don't have paid for access so I can only see the last few trades. If someone sold a chunk of stock then it may show up in a TR1 announcement in a couple of days if it was a big holder.

If SOM release bad news in the next week or two then we can speculate that the grapevine has many tentacles.

If SOM release good news in the next week or two then we can presume someone hasn't watered the grapevine properly and bits of it are a bit twiggy and dead.

Or option 4: we'll never know.

Sunday morning
Still asleep.....
Rio are to the north west

We've dodged a heap of the swirling fluffy cotton stuff this morning.

There appears to be a lot of road consolidation in and around the decline workings. HAV itself is still peppered with drill pads - there has been recent new drill pads on the northern edge - rather than being the first dune. I can't see any new activity north of the dune. Apart from....

Our northern neighbours really do appear to be drilling right beside their field camp. They also seem to be just south of the eastern of the three Apollo drill pads. I wonder if they got a drill jammed at the original hole and had to move?

Rio, shock horror, have made it out of their air conditioned field camp and really are drilling to our north east. Looks like only one drill, unsurprising since they only seem to have four pads prepared.

Scallywag, all seems quiet, nothing at Teach, nor 8km west at the bend in the road. I didn't realise just how close our Scallywag tenement boundary is to the road..... If I had I wouldn't have spent so much time staring at dots on Sentinel images as all the "possibles" would have been Rio's.

Don't know if I'm brave enough to look at Rudall on a small screen gadget this morning. I thought I understood where its boundaries are..... Now I'm not so sure. Easier on a full-size screen with the tenement boundary overlays to hand.

Or "drilling" as some people call it.

A new radar image is out. We appear to be back at the bend Scallywag in the road 8km west of HAV. Nothing at Teach. Bottle Rocket spotted this from the daylight image.

We have left Teach.

Northern neighbours are at Apollo and is it Atlas the next spot north?

Rio are still in their field camp....or are so sneaky they never drill on the days Sentinel-1 is overhead.

.....and the usual hammer & tongs at all things HAV.

I too thought a drill had moved in to beside the northern neighbour's field camp.and then discounted it - imagine trying to sleep while someone is core drilling right next to you? If they now have two drill teams it may be more accomodation?

Meanwhile Rio are.... Still doing hee-haw!? Can anyone see activity on one of their prepared pads?

I see both of our northern neighbour's drills are at their Apollo targets.

Haven't found Rio yet on my small screen gadget....

Morning ProfQ,
Thanks for reminding me today is new daylight image, and tomorrow we should have a fresh radar that will be gathered as I type....

Be nice to see more Scallywag drilling or a start at Rudall.

Clambering back to a visible spot, for those who are interested in GGP's exploration activities at HAV. See post below:

7 Day link for a We Transfer below - I've stuck a HAV sequence of radar images together - and due to laptop issues you have to see it in Powerpoint rather than video I had hoped for - and definitely on a big screen!

Remove the spaces when cutting..... Function key - F5 to start, step through/back with your keyboard arrow keys.

Free apples!?
My freezer awaits..... My part of the world was way too cold in May with nocturnal frosts and then had a dry dry dry summer, so the apple harvest was a non-event this year. Last year was bountiful, with endless strudel baking, and nope, that ain't classed as canabalism before anyone asks.

@Bamps
I know what you mean regarding the Telegram group. I just happened by chance to join it out of curiosity just a couple of days befoe "Ban-gate".

The quality control is undoubtedly better there than here at LSE (I note the admin folks have culled much of the Saturday night flotsam), but the posting format lends itself to rapid fire short messages with no "thread" for sorting. That is fine if there is one active topic but it can descend into a deluge of inter-twined chaos. There is a very useful "Search" function so you don't need to scroll through everything twice, and links survive intact courtesy of the moderators so long as they are on topic - which stretches to encompass the price of gold, technical analysis - waves and curves (Eliott and Lassonde) and other gold companies so long as they are neighbours drilling next to GGP or have just been bought out.

For your ( much appreciated) wordy analysis, with open and thoughtful presentation of where you believe drilling results and geology are leading us, you are probably wise to persevere with LSE and its format.

One last thing - any chance I can bunk off the next Sunday morning double geology lesson? I need to..... Errm....ah..... Go and find you an apple!

Morning Bamps,
Caught up with SD's YouTube video interview with Proactive this morning and was fairly surprised that he confirmed there is nickel in some spots at decent quantities in HAV. As this has not yet been RNS'd I'm wondering if he is being a bit more informative than he should be? Although there may be an argument to say the quantities to date are too small to justify the expense and faff to extract the metal from the ore, hence it won't impact the SP.
Intriguing stuff all the same.

@PG, nice to see Rio not hanging around this time....the last radar showed they were back in their field camp, today's daylight image looks like they are drilling at the most northern pad.

Do you think we have left Teach (Scallywag)? Again we were still there on the last radar....

I'm using too small a screen for me to go seeking out new activity elsewhere in Scallywag or over at Rudall, but thank goodness we had a cloud free image. I doubt the missed image is going to be worth the wait cos of cloud cover.

We await tonight's troll attack casting doubt on the "gold in Sheffield" Theory......

The analysis / number crunching is premature for the reasons explained in your last paragraph. NC don't particularly like buying out explorers, they buy out functioning mines with known production certainties of thousands of ounces of gold for several years - and a reasonable chance (in their judgement) of additional drilling adding to the size of the pie.

They don't commit cash too early to jam tomorrow / exploration plays.

Every holder of GGP shares needs to be aware of how gold in the ground that will be mined in ten years time is not valued today by the equation
price of gold per ounce X number of ounces in ground. The patient here already get that, some don't.....

On another topic - any sign of an overdue daylight image from Sentinel-2 yet?

A very comfortable but small number of millions (of shares).
Just below 10p average buy price last time I looked at my spreadsheet - which usually has typos....
Stuck through Newmont walking.... And started buying again from HAD005 onwards.
Wish I had the discipline that the likes of donkey999 and others with 0 averages have....
- But I don't.
Have held successful shares for decades, and seen shorter term holdings both bought and "stolen" during takeovers..... Sometimes that's the only way I end up selling.
