Totally agree,very short sighted of NM,but then how were they to know what we had,1/1000 make a discovery like HAV.
,I do often wonder if they were one of the “multiple interested parties” that approached GH after HAD initial results,we know it wasn’t just NC although they would always have won the battle due to the telfer economics,no one else really stood a chance,but I do hope that GH had that moment of turning back around to Newmont and uttering the these four words after their approach.
“not at this time” we’re gonna go with newcrest. Hahahahaha ( I would have used those exact words if presented with that opportunity)
None the less,NM are history and man oh man am I glad they are,remember to total lack of new flow or urgency back then,the NDA which I believe still stands, it couldn’t have been a more different experience and really you don’t have to look too far to see the enormity of the find that HAV is,just looks at how each partner behaved.
I reiterate,I think this is just the beginning of decades long partnership with NC. That or we will be no more in the next few years. One thing I do know,it’s not often you have a CEO so focussed on shareholder value nor a partner so focused on speed and delivery. Then there is that small matter of how hard it is to find new high grade gold discoveries globally in the last couple of decades,I HAV a feeling many of us will still be here this time next year with the same thoughts of,is this really happening,it’s too good to be true,it just keeps giving,growing,progressing.
I predict scally rns for at least the aeromagnetics today or next week. If we don’t get one I’m gonna start thinking something is up as I do not believe there is currently any ongoing restriction at scally,after all,it’s not a million miles away from 9 drill rigs operative 24/7 with an 90+ man camp,and possible a few bits of earth moving machinery parked up in a nice neat square hahaha.
Suns out ,beautiful morning. Strange times continue but GGP brings me sanity in wonder
