Well, according to Charles Archer's crystal ball, fun predictions,

"Newmont will acquire the remaining 30% of Havieron from Greatland Gold at a premium in July 2024. Shareholders will buy champagne en masse."

Personally, I don't agree, but hey, all for a bit of fun!

To be absolutely honest, "Suggestions" about the decline & vent shafts, from anyone, mean very little to me. I'm more than happy going with the flow. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. Only time will tell!

It is what it is, and no amount of chat, from anyone, will change that.

Havieron is well, well, ahead, of any mine plan I've ever seen in my many decades of investment, and, I'm more than happy to, now, maybe, wait a bit longer to see, what will, undoubtedly be, one of the largest, if not the largest gold/copper mother lodes(s) for a generation, or more!

It is indeeed, and here's a suitable soundtrack to watch it with:

Reading this reminded me of the interview with Callum on 'Coffee with Samso', back in July 2022, where he talks about the history of drilling at Ernest Giles, as well as, of course Havieron...

The bit on Ernest Giles is 04:20 - 10.35 MINS

As cited by Archer, the latest Fraser Institute Annual Survey 2022 (the 2023 report is due in May) has Western Australia in 2nd place, out of 83 worldwide regions, for Investment Attractiveness...

I don't know exactly when Charles Archer wrote that piece, but it doesn't look like he'd yet heard Shaun Day's comments in his interview with Liam, when he said that we should "assume that both joint venture parties will want to progress this asset (Havieron)", and that it was, "highly unlikely" that there would be a buy out of the other J/V partner.

"Western Australia — has to be top of the list in terms of consistency and staying power....because there is so much infrastructure and so many majors around, you only need to find a whiff of gold/copper or similar, and the majors will be happy to agree a deal which eventually ends with shareholders making money..."

"Other than the politics, there’s infrastructure to consider — find a Havieron next door to Telfer surrounded by road, rail, a port, power, water (perhaps too much) and that’s a different story to a similar gold deposit in the middle of the Botswana bush."

Hmmm, glad to be there too!

Western Australia

"There’s also nobody living there at all, and because there is so much infrastructure and so many majors around, you only need to find a whiff of gold/copper or similar, and the majors will be happy to agree a deal which eventually ends with shareholders making money."

Yup! Personally I'm looking forwards to the latest Meadows, Ernest Giles assays...and to take it from there, sure, hopefully!

I'm only guessing, but if you don't explore/mine, or further explore/mine, a tenement, over a certain period of time, then you often have to surrender it. I'm not saying that's the case here, but it's one possibility.

Just as a side point, as an investor in any gold mining company, I always like to check with them, on a regular basis, like shareholder meeting, where any gold nuggets are located, stored, and inventoried.

They clearly want to get the news out there about the great relationship with Newmont, and that we're going mining!

Continuing it's rise. Currently up 1.1% today @ $2061...

Ridiculously low sp, IMHO!

The WSBN tenements in WA alone, with absolutely nothing, are worth considerably more than this sp, and, what's more, in the most desired, prospective, gold/copper areas in the world right now, and the safest jurisdiction. Topped up again @ 1.09p. No brainer!

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but, IMHO, from Shaun Day's recent comments, from someone who's always been very 'conservative' with his views, we'll be progressing Havieron, with Newmont, with no buyout.

As has been said, often, including by Shaun Day, the decision to mine was made (as of today), years ago!

I'm really happy, and increasingly so, with my long term position in GGP, and, it just needs one, or more, of the imminent Havieron catalysts, OR, any other, even half, or less Havieron hit (eg. 100% owned Ernest Giles) to rocket us north! Then just watch out, because, as I've said ad infinitum, the retail investors won't get a look in, as the sp rises, and the MM's play their usual games!

Again, I can't think of another better time to invest/top up now, because, IMHO, we've seen another sp base price now, at around 7p +/-, despite the manipulation we see every day, and unless we see any significant negative news, which I can't see at this time.

Personally, I topped up, increasing my holding by over 50% over the past 6 months, regularly, at anything below 7p.

GLA & DYOR

Sorry, but maybe I'm missing something here (quite likely for my age!), but didn't I hear our company MD saying, more than clearly, that:

We should "assume that both joint venture parties will want to progress this asset (Havieron)"

And that it's "highly unlikely" that there would be a buy out of the other J/V partner.

Can anyone please tell me why, exactly, the most senior executive in our company, whose always been very reserved in what he's said, to date, would now make such comments, unless they've been discussed, at length, with the relevant other parties?!

I'll be quite honest here, I can't think of many, if any statements, made by Shaun Day, since his employment with our company, more telling than what was stated in Liam's interview!

As I say, am I missing something? I don't think so!

Just one other comment. Please do actually listen to the interview before commenting. It does help sometimes! ;=)

“It’s important to think about the skills and knowledge that boards need going forward and how these can be scaled where necessary to support businesses through future uncertainty.”

“There have been some big deals in mining and metals over the past year, and most of the activity has been critical minerals related. The US Critical Minerals list details 50 elements,7 and there’s a race on to gain access to those.”

"While there’s clear demand for critical metals, traditional capital markets are cautious about investing in certain projects and jurisdictions..."

“Engaging in new relationships with Indigenous peoples can be complex, rich and beneficial. However, as a precursor, mining and metals leaders should seek to understand the complexities that emerge from the legacies of settler-colonial movements...."

"In mining and metals, the percentage of exploration spend over time compared to the size of markets, like copper, is decreasing. The market size continues to increase, but we’re not seeing equivalent growth in the funding of exploration."

"It takes approximately 15 years for a mine to go from discovery to production. It’s important that companies think about their decline curves today and determine the role exploration can play in their strategy to replenish and/or grow reserves."

“Today, engineers spend months, even years, optimizing the design and delivery of mine sites from different dimensions, not just spatially, but also from cost and sustainability perspectives. Once the design is locked in, it can take years to develop and commission the mine, by which time the technologies selected might have been superseded. The ability to generate and adopt new designs through gen AI could be a game-changer.”
