Member Info for strudel

@PaddyG, I had a particular soft spot for the one to the north..... Because NC had done at least one hole half way from HAV to that northern boundary last November on the line of a fault according to the geological maps .... and then shortly thereafter, if my memory serves me well, NC started funding Artemis's drilling.

They must've found something....

Seems like our eastern neighbours, Artemis, will be reporting results from just two holes in Dec. Unless they've snuck away under the cover of all the recent cloud to do a third somewhere we haven't noticed. It seems a shame they haven't yet drilled any of their targets that were right on our boundary, particularly the one to our north.

The stars are out today. My colloquial description of a "sophisticated" shop got censored.....

Morning ValueS,
Always nice to hear from you - has your beady eye spotted anything interesting on the radar image?

I trawled back through the assorted updates and note that the Scallywag camp disappeared right at the end of October. A mere three weeks ago. Seems unlikely that we'll get a complete set of Scallywag drill results published before the New Year. There won't be many folks crunching core numbers in a lab over the festivities - specially since Western Australia is not in any kind of CV19 lockdown / closure / isolation and families will be getting together again.

Leaving us to muse on whether we'll get a partial release of info to add sparkle to our own early Dec AGM. Or maybe that should be glistening?

I think the lack of AEM results is a curiosity. Although every time I begin to wonder about lack of updates I realize the eyes of the gold mining world are on us and GH/CB probably have a queue of people desperate to get involved with our tenements. We do not need to set up a s****y shop window desperately touting our wares to all and sundry, hence we can stay silent.

I don't believe the Scallywag core results are late. Or at least not yet. Drilling only stopped at Scallywag four weeks (ish) ago.

If the lab takes six weeks and you have to first get the cores from the outback to Perth and then let CB have a look at the results then it is not unrealistic to be 8 weeks between the final bit of core drilling on site and the first (complete - all holes) RNS.

The AEM results are overdue. I'm wondering, if their own commissioned (and I presume more detailed and more accurate) magnetic survey has come back so different from the government(?) provided publicly available "one size fits all" survey, that GH and CB are reassessing what and where they had planned to drill as a priority.

In particular they are now taking their time to update a plan for Paterson East's drill strategy. Looking at the odd shaped of our tenement I wonder if they flew over and gathered magnetic data from the bit Antipa are drilling.... It would be hard to fly over our tenement and not stray into Antipa's. When they publish results we could add it to our magnetic knowledge and perhaps target more likely looking spots on our tenement once we actually get into position on the ground.

Antipa's drilling appears to have stopped - no obvious activity on their original string position on today's radar image. Can't see any other signs of activity in the vicinity.....although the radar image is quite a sparkly version today. You seem to get variations between sparkling and pitch black. One day I'll read all about why and educate myself..... But not during this weekend.

Between all the clouds we do have this:

https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/eo-browser/?zoom=15&lat=-21.71367&lng=122.63724&themeId=DEFAULT-THEME&datasetId=S2L2A&fromTime=2020-11-21T00%3A00%3A00.000Z&toTime=2020-11-21T23%3A59%3A59.999Z&layerId=1_TRUE_COLOR&visualizationUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fservices.sentinel-hub.com%2Fogc%2Fwms%2Fbd86bcc0-f318-402b-a145-015f85b9427e

Which looks like activity around the mysterious black square that was north east of the original HAV field camp. Looks like a triangular area of disturbance.

Paterson East is clear of cloud. Antipa are still drilling along their original line although they only have six locations now, down from eight(?). Can't see anything that looks like activity anywhere on the GGP tenements.

HAV new camp looks huge and shiny.

Neighbours to the east are well obscured by the cloud. I realised during the week they may have moved to a hole just west of their field camp. They'd spent a month at the first to the south.

Usual caveat - peering at all this on a small screen on a smartphone - others may see more clearly.

My favourite Wünder produkt Fruitflow is currently tricky to buy online. Looks like no UK stock so bit the bullet yesterday having delayed my purchase for a month and went international and ordered three bottles, 90 capsules in each, for £55 (including shipping). So slightly over 20p cost per capsule.

If I followed the recommended dose (I don't) it would be 61p per day, £4.27 per week. I go through them at 4 capsules per week - so just under 81.5p per week.

I may not be a "normal" consumer but as a former holder I do occasionally pop in to see what is happening to the SP and the discussion on the board. To see this thread was most amusing. To see the struggle to buy the product yet it wants to be mass market was like deja vu..... from 2016, maybe even earlier....

Good luck LTHs

Didn't the sausage making industry invent this "hose technique" but called it "mechanically recovered meat"? Banned after mad cow issues....

As somewhere between grey oldie and spring chicken on the age scale I did realize the other day while fiddling with an Excel spreadsheet that this SIPP lifetime allowance may come into play if GGP does a couple of doublings over the next chunk of time. Then it dawned on me that although SIPP contributions are handy for reducing your tax bill now if you are working, their usefulness begins to fade if the life time allowance begins to loom on the horizon. I had two plans - (a) quit work or (b) hope that the lifetime allowance may be increased more generously in future years, specially if interest / annuity rates stay low. If a million in a SIPP can't provide you with the median wage in your retirement years then the life time allowance aint set right?

Maybe I should just rely on Plan A....

Today's Firefly announcement is related to their Melville not Paterson exploration. It's a bit like sitting in London and saying Rome is close next door.

Pushing nearology to an extreme!

Antipa have been busy:

....with this site being down go and entertain yourself with a sentinel image today. Someone has to spot where the Scallywag drill team went!

We got a fresh image in the morning.....

Activity in / around HAV as per normal very much focused to the east. No sign of where the Scallywag drill team have gone.

Eastern neighbours still on their first hole - is that a month they've been there?

Paterson East -our neighbours Antipa to the west only seem to have one drill in action. They were at their most northern spot 12 days ago andare now at the third one down.... Do we know if they only have the one rig out and about?

Think we are getting a radar image from the 9th at some point during the 10th.
And a daylight image on the 11th.
And @calamari, the satellite image will be captured OK in space even if the Orange Temper Tantrum goes nuclear on planet earth in the interim, although it may well be there's just no server for it to be loaded onto to.... unless there is some resilience built into the system.... like having data centres in Kamchatka, rather than Florida?

@PaddyG
Cheers mate, I must master that art you do so well - merging of transparent satellite and magnetic / gravity plots.

Doubt I'll ever get our Paterson East boundary truly nailed just from mooching around noticeable geographic features on Sentinel 2 images. I will be reaching for the grid co-ordinate to easts and norths conversion website a lot! And hopefully sooner rather than later - where indeed have our drilling rigs gone?

@AM90 et al
Hmmm, that's the neighbours activity up at our Paterson East boundary. Back to school for Strudel then to work out where our tenement is....

I like the spacing, couple of hundred metres between each one. Don't quite understand the quantity, four, dots though. Are ground conditions so difficult they've gone up there with four "bases" each capable of independent standalone drilling and crew suppprt? Or is it still the two, RC and diamond, drills that were used at Scallywag? Maybe they're making up for lost time due to CV19 delays at Scallywag by doubling up their drilling capacity (and halving the time) to drill Paterson East....

The radar image due in the next day or two will prove how much activity is really going on, I hope. And the new daylight image five days may show the "string" all moved to new locations. Someone remind me how much cover they have to drill through at Paterson East? Seeing how often (or not) they move may give a clue to the depth they are core drilling to.

Struggling to identify if our neighbours to the east have moved to the southern border of our HAV tenement.

There seems to be an awful lot of colour changes on the satellite which may be more related to weather activities the last five days. Although I just checked the internet and it says no rain but temperatures in the low 40C.

That's what those job ads mean when they say "warm".....
