For those who have doubts, - and I can assure you that we all have some flashes of doubt occasionally ( I was a serious SXX man ( ughhh!! ), my interpretation of this current situation is - that if there had been a succession of failed drills, the prospect of a refined down / negative / disappointing 1/4erly report, then it would almost certainly have filtered , one way or another , into the market, and the SP would already be signalling it. Instinct would tell me that it was happening. NO SUCH SIGNALLING.
Chin up.

Whizz Bang. - did not take me long to find it.

Anyone new to GGP wanting a directory to base their research off, and a possible recap for LTHs, thought i'd repost this given the long weekend ahead. Also give Paddy's Twitter feed a thorough look!

I will offer our newbies some advice. Far , far better than asking for advice -- DYOR, for there is an absolute encyclopaedia of it available at the touch of a finger
Use all of the icons at the top of this board
Look back through all of the RNS releases
Look at the other news releases.
Look at all of the links and pin them to your tool bar if they are of value. One distinguished LTH ( apologies - I have forgotten who - please self identify ) produced a long list of superb links in early April. Find it and read them.

Use Google to go on the GGP COMPANY website - a massive background detail of reports and data
Google Newcrest ( NOT NEWMONT ) and register for their e-mail news release service and on Wednesday night , you will get advance notice of the Thursday am news
THEN work out who are the best and the most brilliant contributors to this board, - first click on Paddygalls name on a contribution and you will be given a massive technical history of GGP, - click on mine and you will get a liturgy of a humble LTH assessments of where we are going, - sort out other wheat from chaff - easily done - and read their eminent contributions over recent months, ignore all the one line chaff, the abuse, the vilification and do some serious reading - DYOR ,
And you will then be able to join the advisors and leave the advised.
It will save space on the board. Do all the above and you will join the elite.
Maybe among's t you there will be a second Paddy gall, ( a really tough expectation ) and we tired but elated LTH's will benefit .
But good luck to all this week, - it is going to be life changing, dramatic ,,stimulating, exciting , exhausting and a wonderful end to the beginning ,- and a glorious start to the next stage.
And that is me finished while I ponder how to spend my £10-00 Lottery win.
tig

Soundman1. You are right ( Oh !! Good morning all ) - it is Time to Buy. Just turned on the computer and I have won the National Lottery. Whow !! - £10-00 . Cannot wait for 8-00 am Monday to top up.. Avery good omen.
tig

Scally and Goliath are not necessarily pre-destined, but they are not a casino gamble.
There is already adequate dat that persuades GH that it is well worth a drill campaign, and the known geology alread indicates that it could well be a similar / bigger / or even mammoth expectancy.
This is not a 50 / 50 REd or Black scenario. More a 85 % / 15% er where even the 15% could be mineable.
GH is no idiot, and has a pretty astounding record so far
I am backing him.
tig - not a gambler.

WHY??? Because the fewer shares we pi,s release, the harder for MM,s to manipulate the market, and they will then have to raise the SP .

Depends on what baseline shares in issue you use , but 22p would be minimum, - probably 25p / 27p would secure the £1billion size company. Soon to happen in my view.
tig

I fail to understand why there is such unresearched and unsupported debate about Next Wednesday / Thursday takeover / Havieron offer / Rio Tinto snatch and grab/ , because so far nothing has occurred which even suggests anything that it will hurt the SP.
We know that there is gold in them thar hills. But not whether it is pretty good / bloody wonderful , or just unbelievably massive.
If NCM wish to make some kind of a deal ( probably only for Hav. at this time, ) then that deal is to be done fairly, equitably, non- aggressively between two CEO's who have worked long and hard together , who respect and get on with each other , using data which is 100% known to both sides, and with one CEO who owns a portion of Hav that the other desperately needs to acquire to sustain his Telfer feed, and the other CEO who 100% owns ( possibly / probably ) another Hav. plus , plus , plus., which would seal Telfer for the next 50 years.
And if it hits 15p on next Thursday am, I would not sell in a million years, because that will be the new baseline. There is so much more positive things to happen from that point onwards. MRE ( which the top guys probably know already ) , the Scally drills still to happen , but with a fair certainty alread of what to expect.
And then all of the rest of the GGP stable , which tend to be ignored, the CU reserves, and maybe some more GGP acquisitions .
This a beginning, not the end. I will certainly hold till end of 2020, then reassess ( assuming no totally unforeseen disasters ),
when I confidently expect to be pondering over an SP in the 60p to 110p range. A much easier decision to take.
But I never , ever take my eye off the ball.
tig - in a confident and wholly optimistic frame of mind.

Jersey C - Not such a daft idea. The technology is there,- incredibly sensible to serve ALL shareholders, and there would be huge demand.
You could probably bet that we will have that service by the year end.
tig

And where is Paddy going to send his satellite to once Havieron is proven up and in production.???
Over the SXX semi redundant hole in Whitby ??
tig
Am still very adrenalised and anticipatory.

ALWAYS other opportunities ..... BUT.....almost NEVER opportunities like GGP. These are once in a lifetime.

We do not yet know the true values of SCALLY . but the early indications are massive.
We do not know what the other potential assets are worth and whether they will be extractable, but early indications are that there is reasonable potential for further work on them.
None of these are added into the GGP SP at this stage . There is obviously some potential downside BUT there is some excellent potential upside. This is an AIM EXPLORATION COMPANY which is why we took the investment risk in the first place. Better this than sell and buy an ( unknown , ) dog.
I intend to hang on in , - SCALLY looks too good to pass over.
tig

Jerry S, Am a lifetime investor but have only recently turned to trading commodities ( potential for gold and crypto in this appalling market is terrific ), and as I am at home with not too much to do, I can sit and concentrate ( as is absolutely necessary ). A bit like poker. Have learnt not to be over greedy, play small and just cash in on £25 / £50 gains . With a commodity like gold whose trajectory is essentially north , with only the occasional southward hiccup, it is a very good area to trade.
Have learned a couple of bad decision lessons as well though. BUT , still well in profit.
tig

Good morning early risers.
But I cannot see any point in remaining invested if Paddy cannot take proper photographs.
Seems like it is time now to take the early shower rather than sitting half naked at my desktop shivering with both cold and anticipation.
Come to my senses shortly
tig

One can only assume that ??? were this rumour to be true - and it is possible but unproven, there would be a cash / shares in NCM or a bit of bothe to convert GGP shares into an NCM holding, and GGP would no longer be.
All adds to the gossip and excitement. But as long as the Offer is appropriate and large enough , we do not lose.

I am aware that I am the eternal optimist, but tis investment journey summary is stunning and as far as I can observe, a
professionally put together ( more so with Paddy G's input ) presentation.
I am now , eyes closed , with my brain oscillating between 15p and £1-13p
I can live with any of that . A MUST WATCH for any one on this board and it will save a whole raft of unresearched questions.
ALL THE ANSWERS are contained within.
5 days and counting.
tig

I have now leapt on to my sled, and am just going to run with the ever gathering SPeed into 10-01pm on Wednesday night.
The dealing now appears to getting a little more realistic and a little less managed. And I am feeling pretty good and equally confident.
Stay patient and courteous to all,
tig

For the last 9 years, GGP has been only an AIM exploration minor , without any assets except a few $$$'s and a very talented CEO. He made a few shrewd exploration acquistions , and set out to prove up. Lots of exploration companies do the same.
The history of gold exploration miners is that they raise a few million bucks, set about digging and 19 out of 20 go to the wall. Little surprise that the SP remains tiny. Even with an exploration discovery, that only raises hopes, - it does not become a solid asset, and that is why GGP oscillated along a very small SP trajectory for so long...........UNTIL - it started to all come together . Newmont dabbled, came and went ..... and then the start with the NCM J/V.
Some serious joint efforts that ( thank the lord ) started to get better and better.... and even better. The dream started to crystalise, NCM pressed the accelerator - hard - and we are now on the start of the finishing line when the flag gets waved next week. Hard facts, magnificent and enormous ( we believe ) assets in the ground are to be announced and proven officially, and this the reward we all await. Nothing is yet certain, but there is oodles of confidence on this amazing and mostly intelligent board that our hopes and prayers are all coming home .... and more,..... and then probably Scally more to come afterwards. Now the price can start to move and reflect the reality. A long, long wait, but the hard facts will shortly be on the table.

It is not Newcreswst that would offer a special divi. If Newcrest buy out GGP 100% ( unlikely in my point of view ) they would offer GGP £x per share , which if accepted by the shareholders would go to them in cash ( or in cash and / or shares by the offering company.
If NCM buy out Havieron, they would pay GGP a cash sum, and that could / would be distributed to shareholders by GGP, who would then use remaining funds to develop Scallywag etc. Say 25p a share to buy Havieron and GGP then pay a special div of 10p a share to shareholders ( more likely ) . We then keep our GGP shares revalued at ????? ...could be very good if Scally turns up trumps.
Possible that Rio Tinto could buy NCM , and GGP would then have to work out where they stood in that deal.. Who Knows.
tig

The " newcomer " you are referring to , has a history in GGP of more than 9 years, a very large holding in the company shares, several years on this site, is probably far better known and more respected on this board than you will ever be, and has no control over someone who he has not met and does not know , living and working 12000 miles away in the Paterson region. Nor understands the difficulties of digital communications out in the middle of no-where. The newcomer only knows his brother. That newcomer also does copious and diligent research in the interests of his fellow courteous and delightful c- contributors to this board, and those who know him will attest to his being a person of exemplary character , and who does not fill this board with idiotic, unchecked, vilifying rubbish. Were it not that his contributions are generally appreciated ( if the reccomendation tag is anything to go by ) this newcomer would not waste his time.
This generally splendid board could only improve were idiotic clowns with nothing sensible to offer , were to depart to other boards.
Perhaps you should go moff somewhere and buy yourself some vinegar crisps.

Just about to blow throgh the £300,000 Million barrier.
