Diamond core drilling commenced at the Ernest Giles Meadows prospect early/mid November last year, with the first two diamond holes testing interpreted mineralised zones, and which were also co-funded by the Government of Western Australia's Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) drilling grant (for up to A$220,000). They will provide the first angled diamond holes and oriented core at Meadows.

Hopefully we'll get the assays for these in the next 4-6 weeks, or so.

Shaun Day was always very eager to get cracking on EG, and said in December that:

"This lights up like a Christmas tree with the Geophysics it's undercover which is really the competitive strength, or our competitive advantage, that we have within that exploration team - We've had a drill rig on there through November and we're really looking forward to getting the assays and sharing them with shareholders in due course, and that really creates a whole new exploration front for us."

I'm certainly no expert on this form of transfer, but I'd assume that there is some form of settlement day(s) involved (+2?).

Maybe someone else can verify?

Thanks to Stuart Hinds...

”Despite the suspension of processing, operations at the Telfer mine are still in full swing.”

Also, Shaun Day stated on 'Sunday Roast' this weekend, " "This is a Telfer asset...it doesn't mean anything for Havieron". He goes on to say that Newmont are dealing with it, there's been no spillage, and, it's essentially a good thing that they're investing in this now anyway.

"F-l-y-n-n Gold is pleased to provide the first drilling results from its 100%-owned Firetower Project located in

northwest Tasmania.

The initial drilling results confirm coherent zones of high-grade polymetallic gold, cobalt, tungsten and copper (Au-Co-W Cu) mineralisation at the project, with laboratory assays for most of the program still pending...."

"Havieron...multi-decade asset...20-30 years..."

Re: Telfer tailings dam issue, "This is a Telfer asset...it doesn't mean anything for Havieron", and he goes on to say that Newmont are dealing with it, there's been no spillage, and, it's essentially a good thing that they're investing in this now anyway.

"...Once completed we can push the decline into the ore body..."

De-watering at Havieron ahead of schedule!

On Havieron updated MRE, "..the commodity mix (gold/copper) is the right commodity for the right time".

For Info, Shaun Day on the discussions from 47:50 mins.

Indeed ace! And, nothing is more certain in my life, in all my decades of investing, than, when he does, just watch this forum, when we'll see the likes of, "I just wish I'd bought in/topped up, at XXp!

IMHO, nothing will be more certain in my life, and I challenge anyone to prove differently, later this year!

"....With the addition of Newcrest's portfolio, Newmont now owns or co-owns 19 global operations capable of contributing roughly 8 million oz of gold and 330 million pounds of copper to the company each year. This includes seven operations in North America, five in Latin America and Caribbean, four in Australia, two in Africa, and one in Papua New Guinea.

Palmer said the "transitional acquisition of Newcrest marks a historic milestone in our company and the industry," Palmer said.

This historic acquisition aligns with the world's largest gold mining company's key strategic drivers

• Build, maintain, and strengthen its responsible gold leadership position through its culture, performance, and relationships.

• Identify industry consolidation opportunities that play to Newmont's strengths and advantages, while also adding value for shareholders.

• Find opportunities to diversify Newmont's commodity mix with an increasing future exposure to the world's key transition metal – copper....."

Don't forget the copper!

Thanks again MH01! Yet another excellent piece by Charles Archer, who I happened to only mentioned again yesterday, as an excellent writer and analyst, with very similar views to my own on the current situation with the junior mining market.

Indeed, and, as I've stated before, just wait for the, IMHO, likely huge daily rise(s) when we hit any of the major catalysts pending during this year. Anyone that thinks that they'll be able to buy in then will probably be very dissapointed indeed, as the MM's hold stock to offer to their big clients, whilst the retail investor gets frustrated, "Computer says NO", as the blue figures rise on their screen!

Well, let's see where this one takes us. Well done to those that topped up early yesterday :-) Let's hope that we've seen a new base, but, better still, a sustained move up now. Only time will tell & GLA!

They've gone probably, and hopefully, because they're just yet more of the increasingly ridiculous, handbag fighting, childish posts, we've seen here for the past few weeks. I'm surely not the only one that is fed up to the back teeth with them, and their hijacking of nearly every thread.

Thanks MH01, and another name added to the likes of Charles Archer & Willem Middelkoop, both of whose similar views I have respect for too.

Keep 'em coming...
