@Philly "Glad you like it TMT ..."
Yes, of course I like your idea, it's brilliant.

Hate you, though. Because I thought of it when I read Mushroom's post and was all ready to suggest it and then found you'd beat me to it. Jerk. Now all that's left for me is to back you up on it, rather than claiming the glory for myself.

Another weekend ruined. I shall have to find some other way to inflate my ego, but fortunately I've had decades of practice, and where there's a will, there's a way.

(Someone will come along and take this seriously and take me to task for it, and then we'll have another glorious weekend spat. Unless they take you to task for projecting the SP 300 years from now. Wonder which it will be!)

@Noobz, if you are really looking to invest, take the time to watch all the videos on GGPHelp.co.uk under Items of Interest, Proactive. Start from the bottom and watch them in historical order, you'll get a better feel of the story here.

Then, go to the Company Information, and under Greatland Gold read the 2020 Investor Presentation. Then, on greatlandgold.com, read up on the strategy and the board, then research who these people are. Then, also on the company website, read the stuff on each project so you have a clue.

Good luck and don't be bothered by small fluctuations in price. This is likely to be worth 20p or more by this time next year, so doesn't matter what it does Monday.

The brilliant thing about 'Great Heddle' is that, three centuries from now, archaelogists will dig up the name plate and write books about what it means. And all their theories will be completely wrong.

What's not to like about that?

@George "Can’t these inexperienced & barely educated clowns be taught?"

It's been tried before. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink, right? He doesn't want to be taught. It's not just inexperience or lack of education. If you really want, look back at when the share price was below 200, and the things he was writing back then, and the efforts people made back then. You'll see.

Responding to him only frustrates you and others and makes him feel important. When you reply, it gives him an excuse to post again, and congratulate himself on how brilliant his reply was.

Trolls live for attention. Just filter mess so you don't have to see his nonsense, that's what most of us did previously. If no one answers him he'll go away soon enough.

If you keep responding, he'll keep responding back, and this will turn into a board about him, rather than a board about IAG. That's good for his ego but not good for anyone else.

@dodge "so if more difficult to buy/sell In volume that would suggest less volatility as well.."

Not necessarily. If someone wants to buy in volume it might well drive the price higher more quickly.

@MDC1, I thought NMS was simply a calculation based on the average daily turnover.

Is that not accurate?

Be interesting to see how this impacts Primark / ABF.

Fair enough, Spy.

In future, if it's me, unless I'm talking about markets / institutional investors / sometimes takeover scenarios, there's a good chance it's not serious.

Enjoy your day. Have to go back to work now.

@Spy "How can you, even for 1 micro second see that post as anything other than a random post."
How could you even for 1 micro second see my post as anything other than a joke?

"do you know how ridiculous you sound."
Yes, I did know that. I was doing it intentionally in good humour. As, in fact, I said, and warned those who didn't want a serious post just to move on. Why didn't you if you weren't in the mood for that kind of post?

Filter you because I don't like you? I do like you. I like your cryptic clues. I've always thought they added to this board.

But if you don't like me, why don't you just filter me? You might as well be warned, I DO have a sense of humour, and I like joking around a little bit instead of just all the time posting about if the SP ticked up or down a little today or how many trades there were. If you don't like it, some others apparently do, so why not just filter me? I'd say that's too bad if that happened because I do like you, but whatever, I'd get over it.

Annoying, that full stop at the end of the sentence got added into the link. Here it is.

@l-a, LBMA.
That's what you were supposed to think. Actually, I've figured that out, too -- it's the means by which Spy's messages are delivered. https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/2020171Z:LN.

Ok, I'm going to go to work now. Have a good (blue) day, everyone.

@stebol
Agree with you on all. I also don't expect a buyout at MRE, I think that offer, if it comes, comes later. But once we get an MRE, I'm pretty sure GH will be able to borrow pretty much all the money he needs.

@SAS "Shoot me now LOL"
Change your will so I get your GGP shares and I'll find someone to do the task!

""do you prefer blondes or brunettes?""

So, my "conjunction" joke obviously fell flat, too obscure. Why can't everyone read my mind, anyway, LOL?

Humour an old man, please. Take the "or" out, substitute a different conjunction (see post Subject), smile at least for a moment, then have a good blue day today watching the price of all your shares go in the right direction for once.

Good luck all.

@Matt, if NCM offers a good deal for drilling Scal, great! If not, we certainly can go it alone, and should. I think 75/25 is a great deal when the explorer has very limited resources and is an explorer, not a miner. I don't think it's a great deal when the explorer has, or soon will have, the resources to do the exploration drilling themselves.

So if necessary, drill it ourselves, find out what we have, then get a JV on better terms than 75/25.

@Stebol
"Reasonably soon TMT? Assuming we hang on in there until Haveiron is mined then you're looking at 2 years from now minimum."
I don't disagree with your view, you misunderstood mine. The MRE will happen this year. Once the MRE happens, we're going to have access to plenty of cash to drill Scal ourselves, either from sale of part or all of Hav, or from loads of debt financing which will be available to us if we still own 1/4 of Hav.

We don't need to do a farm in with NCM or anyone else to do the drilling and find out what we have. Of course we should do a JV with NCM (or possibly Rio) to mine Scal, I wasn't talking about that. I'm talking about not just rushing into an expensive farm in / JV on Scal now just so we can get the drills going immediately.

If NCM offers a more equitable JV for Scal than they did for Hav, by all means, let's get going! If not, well, let's use the resources we have to drill it ourselves, find Hav x 4, and then go back to them and see if they want to make a better offer.

I don't see GGP ever becoming a major, of course not. I do see us having the resources, because of Hav, to expect and get better deals on any major finds in future, and I certainly hope we'll not settle for the same deal again. And if that means we have to wait for the MRE to start drilling Scal, I'd rather wait. (I don't know if it means that. But I don't agree with the idea of "just get NCM to do it." That depends entirely on what kind of deal they offer.)

Scum Labour still hasn't cleaned up their house, they still have a bunch of people defending RBL for her support of anti-Semitism! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-53183085

Isn't this fun? Now, I'll confess that RBL's ill-advised tweet and JM's and JL's support for her has nothing to do with whether or not IAG is a good investment or not, and that the same applies to what you just posted, and that it's easy to play gotcha but this is not the forum.

Fair enough?

(discussion of travel policies, quarantine, etc, is OBVIOUSLY relevant and fair game here, partisan point-scoring not so much)

"do you prefer blondes or brunettes?"
wrong conjunction

@T&T, I remember you posting that before. Not sure I agree. If the money is there, get going and drill in Scal!

I don't fear a takeover, if we find a nice deposit there, a lot of investors will be saying, 'I'm not going to sell until I know what we've got!' And a lot of these shares are held by insiders and a lot of educated investors who aren't going to just dump their shares for some sweet-talking Rio or Barrick or whatever.

Any time we get any substantial find, the share price is likely to lag, just like is happening now. That might make it appear we are vulnerable to a hostile takeover -- but they'd still have to get more than 50%! If the BOD doesn't agree, they'll have to pay a huge premium to convince enough shareholders.

I'd love to see us drilling in Scal -- if we've got the money to do so. I don't mind if we do it with a farm-in with NCM, either -- as long as we don't overpay for it.

I think my preference would be to drill it ourselves (as soon as we can reasonably afford it, which could be now) and then agree a JV with NCM to mine it. Use their expertise, let them make a lot of money on it, but let's not give up 70% this time. That would be my preference.
