TBH, what I especially like in your inteviews Liam, are some of your probing questions, based on very good research & knowledge, about past comments made by Shaun Day, and his views today, on those earlier views.

As an investor, it's important to pick up on those past comments, and where we stand now, with reference to them.

I'd never expect, in any company, things to be 100% now, and in future, true to earlier comments, that's a given, IMHO, but to probe into those, clearly makes the interviewee slightly less comfortable, and drives probably, a more accurate view, if that makes sense!

Thanks again Liam! TT

Another goodun Liam, but no surprise there!

Sorry Redtrader, but, having read your posts several times, I still just cannot comprehend what you're talking about with regards to Sandeep Biswas.

Back in October, 2021, when delivering the PFS, he said "It is an incredible achievement that, within two years of starting the Havieron drilling program, we have been able to deliver this significant project milestone and demonstrate financial returns that comfortably exceed our hurdle rate, even in this first stage. The Pre-Feasibility Study underpins an initial Ore Reserve estimate for the upper section of the South East Crescent Zone which increases our confidence in achieving first production in FY24 and triggers our entitlement to a cumulative 70% Joint Venture interest."

"We believe that this is just the first stage of a bright and profitable future for Havieron. Our extensive drilling program continues to assess the extent of the South East Crescent Zone and further test the Northern and Eastern Breccia for mineralisation which may be suitable for bulk mining methods. We have recently delivered several new and exciting high grade intercepts which extend the high grade mineralisation beneath the initial Mineral Resource estimate and highlights the potential for further resource growth".

Please explain what this, IMHO, nonsense, is all about, "It seems that Havieron is not what Newcrest want. Sandeep went ahead with the decline putting a lot of money into this project. If he had waited for the the full drilling results he might still be CEO. His bravery is a god send for GGP. Without the decline the guys in charge of Newcrest would have called it quits."

Where on earth did you get that view from?

Do you actually appreciate that since the PFS, we've pretty much found more gold & copper in every drill?

We're still open at depth throughout all of the Havieron sectors!

DYOR & GLA!

I wonder if a decision will be made between Newmont & Newcrest over this weekend?

Fair comment, but but my point at that time, as now, is more that the moves are no more than + or - 1.2% maximum each day, and throughout the day.

Reference the DTM, this is what Shaun Day indicated in March:

- The next Havieron mineral resource update would probably be in August, and both Newcrest & Greatland Gold are aligned on that situation.

- The Havieron DFS is not expected now until the Newmont/Newcrest takeover situation is resolved, one way or another.

- The Newmont/Newcrest takeover, or not, would probably be finalised in April according to most commentators/banks, etc.

- The decision to mine would be expected within 30 days of the DFS.

Yup, indeed Paddy! That heavy duty dateline spring in is getting increasingly compressed. I can't wait for it to release! Then watch out!

More 'structured' (manipulated?) movements on the sp again. At the end of March it was +/- 0.7% or 1.4%, now it's +/- 0.6% or 1.2%....

Sprott stated yesterday, "Based on our rough estimates and current development rates, the main access decline is ~10% ahead of schedule and could reach ore by 1Q24, in line with the PFS guidance."

In answer, I'm not really prepared to suggest any definitive figure, but, based on the fact that it's been nearly 14 months now since the last Greatland Gold Havieron Mineral Resource Update of the 3rd March 2022, which was was based on a drill cut-off date of 2nd December 2021, we've been motoring since!

That means we've subsequently had nearly 18 more months of drilling since that old cut-off date. That update increased the mineral resources to 5.5M oz Gold & 218kt Copper or 6.5M oz Gold Equivalent. By the time of the next update in August we'll have done around 22 months of additional drilling since that last cut-off date (with the updated MRE in August taking into account around 16-17 months of that).

Therefore. IMHO, I'd expect, at the very least, 10-11M oz Gold Equivalent by the time of the next Havieron MRE update, expected in August. I'm assuming a drilling cut-off date of sometime in May for that update.

So, to give some sort of figure for your question, I'd hope pretty much what the broker analysts are, on average, suggesting, somewhere in the 20p+ range this year.

As always, DYOR & GLA!

Quite frankly, I'm not discounting anything, going forward, over the next few weeks. If I've learn't anything over 40 years of investing, it's to expect the unexpected! The Paterson region is definitely, now, and increasingly so, on the hit list of many mining majors, which can see the massive potential for exploration & mining now, in one of the best jurisdictions, if not the best, in the world, at this time.

If Newmont snooze, I definitely believe that other(s) will step up to the plate!

Which is all good for us!

Right now, I really don't see any downside, especially for the sp, which is ludicrously low, IMHO, going forwards.

Oh dear! Clearly some people can't even read, and/or just want to be negative!

These are OLD drill results which have been reworked, and, as with any explorer, form part of the research into where is best to drill.

Yup it's a pain in the ****! TT

It'll be inteesting to see what develops on the option in the next two months:

Just as a reminder:

***** Gold have an option to purchase Greatland's Tasmanian tenements, Firetower and Warrentinna, for an option fee of A$100,000 (~£55,000). The option may be exercised during the option period which ends no later than 30 June 2023.

If the option is exercised by ***** Gold, the following additional amounts are payable to Greatland:

§ An initial purchase price of A$200,000 (~£110,000);

§ Deferred consideration of:

§ A$500,000 (~£278,000) if a JORC resource of at least 500,000 oz of gold is announced; plus

§ A$500,000 (~£278,000) if ***** Gold obtains a permit to mine, in respect of one or more of the tenements; and

§ A royalty equal to 1% on net smelter returns in respect of any production from the tenements.

***** Gold may satisfy the option fee, initial purchase price and deferred consideration in ***** Gold shares. If that occurs, Greatland will enter into a restriction deed in respect of any ***** Gold shares issued, to confirm that Greatland will retain that stock for at least 12 months from the relevant date of issue, subject to customary carve outs for takeover events.

Also, I missed at the bottom of the piece, "A technical review of the Firetower project commenced during the quarter and is ongoing."

F***n Gold have published their 'March 2023 Quarterly Activities Report' today.

As many of us know, they have an option on Warrentinna & Firetower, which ends on the 30th June.

Warrentinna / Firetower Projects

In December 2022 the Company announced that it had entered into an Option Agreement to purchase two gold and battery metals projects covering 99km 2 of highly prospective ground in northern Tasmania.

The two projects are the Warrentinna Gold Project (see Figure 2) and the advanced Firetower Gold and Battery Metals Project (see Figure 12), both currently held by Greatland Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Greatland Gold plc (AIM:GGP) (“Greatland”). Both these projects have been previously drilled by Greatland, yielding encouraging results which provide ***** with several advanced targets that warrant additional drill testing.

During the quarter the Company commenced a detailed technical review of the Warrentinna Project with the initial focus being on the historic Golden Mara underground mine (see Figure 11). An initial 3D geological model of the Golden Mara deposit and workings from historical data has been completed. From this modelling a number of drill holes have been designed to test for extensions to gold mineralization beneath the existing Golden Mara workings.

The Company also commenced a technical review of the nearby Derby North prospect...

Havieron is still open at depth throughout all sections of Havieron!

How deep does this whole system go?!

We just don't know, but the deeper we go, the more gold & copper we're finding. There are some indications that the Eastern Breccia opens out at depth...How wide and how deep? Again, who know's?

Once we get the drilling platforms established at depth, maybe, just maybe, we'll find out! This is getting closer too!

Overall, I can't see anything but positivity on Havieron, let alone our other major tenements in the Paterson.

Greatland Gold and partner Newcrest have reported high-grade intercepts from drilling at the Havieron mine in Paterson, Western Australia.

In-fill drilling continues to confirm high grades in the initial discovery, Greatland said, with holes outside this zone in the Eastern Breccia also hitting thick gold intercepts albeit at deep levels.

Best of the latest results were 54m of gold at a grade of 8.5 g/t from 1,421m at the original SE Crescent discovery and 31m at 4.9g/t from 1,635m at Eastern Breccia....

Just as Shaun Day stated some time ago now, "Havieron just continues to give, and that's all part of delivering, firstly, the start up mine, as the SE Crescent, tailor made for our balance sheet - Drive in, get into production, move that high grade ore through the mill and generate free cash flow, but then to re-invest into the broader Havieron opportunity. It's brilliant to work on an ore body like this."
