This alluvial project reflects our stated intention to move into cash flow at any of our projects where we can identify this potential. We and Riverstone believe it has potential to scale rapidly, and will be looking to prove that in the current phase of exploration. The experience of their personnel in working with alluvial deposits will we expect complement our capabilities. We will report as equipment is delivered and installed, and as other milestones pass. Both parties will be making contributions, and our further potential commitment in this phase is limited to £150,000 to £200,000. We consider that our current resources and facilities, and indications of support we have received, will enable us to meet this spend. In the event of discouraging results at any stage, work on the alluvial potential will cease and Riverstone will move equipment to another project. Red Rock will update the market as work proceeds.
We are now working with a group that is deeply committed to our success whose advice and help on other matters we have found invaluable."

8 months later and now Riverstone gone - no claim against them on failing to deliver and wasted RRR funds as they only had gentleman's handshake on the deal. Shareholders now find out no equipment is even close to being on the way after months of radio silence - how many stockbox interviews has AB conducted during this time stating all is well???
Plus, what is the new required spend now RRR are going it alone and contracting a consultant to manage for them. I can only imagine that the previously committed £150k above was more than blown a long time ago and now this figure would look like chump change to what is really needed from here on.
I see RRR have given a very loose ops update today - where is the financial one I wonder. I still think you'd be mad to buy into this charade. I just don't see any way this company will produce gold which will make current shareholders rich and I certainly don't see how they sell any gold before Q1 next year let alone this year.
It seems that failure will yet again be paid for by shareholder dilution but spun to sound like a dream investment opportunity - Legohead will be engaged at some point this week to feather the nest with wishy-washy questioning and no pressing of the flesh on costs / spends. Rinse and repeat...and the wages get paid.
ps - no mention of where that 200mts is anymore - did they sell it? was it RRRs to sell? did they give it back -who knows?
pps - DRC payment is imminent (be sure to use RRRs dictionary when looking up the words close, days, weeks, imminent)
