RE: Drill Results or JV First?11 Aug 2020 09:47
Hi Gino, I really should be asking you the same questions as you are a long term holder and been watching this for a number of years.
I think we will get the ground explorations results along with a drilling programme which I think will accompany it or follow shortly after and concentrate on the Blue Moon, Cherry Tree and Cherry Tree South prospects.
We will not get a g/t measurement , but will get an indication of the structure and the potential resource.
It would be good if the resource is indicated at a shallower depth as that makes if more economically viable.
In a recent interview Craig Brown stated that there were hundreds of thousands of oz confirmed at Bailieston.
I don't know if this was a slight giveaway to the upcoming results, but if a major drilling programme is being planned you would expect the results o be favourable.
On the JV front....It could come today, it could come tomorrow, it could come in 3 months time.
We know that ECR have 4 potential partners, we know one is Newmont, we know one potential partner has already presented to ECR (CB interview) and that DD has been undertaken by at least a couple of the parties.
We do not know how advanced talks/ contracts are.
Anyone who claims they know when it will drop is talking BS.
All I know is that a Creswick JV with a major mining company will be an absolute game changer when it happens
