Yes, indeed! It sounds pretty serious as the palace probably wouldn't release news like this unless it was. Charles has just arrived at Balmoral and William on the way.

Greatland Gold PLC - London-headquartered mine developer and explorer - Says drilling results at Havieron gold-copper project, located in the Paterson region, Western Australia, continue to identify high-grade mineralised extensions.

Greatland Gold says all six drill rigs are on site at Havieron. Says its Havieron feasibility study is on track for completion during the fourth quarter.

Finds up to 12.0 grams of gold per tonne and up to 1.1% copper in Eastern Breccia.

Greatland Gold Managing Director Shaun Day says: "The growth drilling program at Havieron continues to deliver outstanding results as high-grade extensions to the mineralisation are identified across the expanse of the ore body. With six drill rigs all focusing on growth this demonstrates the commitment to unlock the expansion potential within the Havieron system together with ongoing exploration of adjacent structures."

It's really very clear for Australia, amongst other countries. When they talk about quarters and refer to a "[month] quarter", it means the quarter that ends in that month. As others have already stated, December quarter for 2022 is 1 October 2022 - 31st December 2022.

"Hey guys, let's not mess around, let's just go really, really deep, and put 156 right down there, because surely the mother lode doesn't go THAT deep!"

Next results: "Hey guys, guess what....

" Shaun Day provides an exploration and development update for the Havieron gold-copper project in the Paterson region of Western Australia. He says the growth drilling campaign continues to deliver outstanding results as high-grade extensions to the mineralisation are identified across the ore body. Six drill rigs are currently on site - all focused on growth."

13.5m @ 9.8 g/t Au & 0.89 % Cu from 1843.5m!

Quite frankly, I don't see how an interim could be much better than this! Fantastic!

Havieron keeps giving & giving!

Expected today with probably an RNS this morning.

Much of the recent falls in the Newcrest Mining share price, as with the vast majority of other gold mining companies, as well as the indexes, has been down to the drop in the price of gold.

Interestingly, GGP has still held at 8p +/- for some time now, which further indicates ongoimng manipulation, IMHO.

And, yes, GGP does generally move, admittedly to a limited degree, with the gold price, so it's interesting that it really hasn't moved below the current 8p +/- level at all.

"We're driving in and developing the SE Crescent hitting that high grade ore, we're going to then take that through and process it and then have ounces of gold and tonnes of copper to sell and that will generate cash flow and then we can reinvest that into the mine to continue to grow that, continue to advance the decline to all the way to the bottom of the SE Crescent." SHAUN DAY June 2022

"...the copper is yeah it is tremendous at say 20% of the ore body and yeah it is, you know, the best gold mines that have copper credits in terms of the base metal, I think that does capture the imagination of the geologists - we love the fact that we have 20 percent copper which is a base metal and we want to understand what other opportunities there are around base metals." SHAUN DAY July 2022

Don't forgrt the copper....

"Demand for energy transition technologies will create enormous annual growth in market value for nickel, lithium, copper and other critical minerals."

Critical minerals are needed at all stages of the low-carbon energy cycle. They include silicon, rare earth elements and uranium for energy generation; copper, aluminium and steel for distribution networks; and ‘battery minerals’ such as nickel, lithium and cobalt for energy storage. Many governments around the world have established critical minerals lists to highlight what they see as essential resources for meeting their net-zero commitments and for applications in high tech, defence and other vital industries."

"...copper, lithium and cobalt are already experiencing supply constraints, and supply imbalances are likely in the near term. The industry’s inability to meet demand could have major implications for the cost—and ultimately the pace—of the global uptake and installation of energy transition technologies. Raw materials are the largest cost component of an EV battery. The supply and price of the input battery metals will have the greatest impact on whether EVs will reach cost parity with, and replace, traditional internal-combustion vehicles."

"Economic resources are being depleted for many critical minerals, including copper, nickel and cobalt."

Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) have been up in number and value in recent years. Australian Resources & Investment chats to PwC Australia partner Marc Upcroft to understand why.

According to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), ‘critical minerals’ is the mining industry’s most pressing concern in the near-term, with imminent supply shortfalls in some of the most important materials for the renewable energy transition.

“If the mining industry does not rapidly scale up its discovery and delivery of critical minerals, the prospects of energy transition at scale will be jeopardised,” PwC global mining leader Paul A Bennell said in the firm’s ‘Mine 2022’ report.

Mine 2022 examines the performance of the world’s top 40 mining companies in 2021, while unpacking the most pressing trends facing the global mining industry.

Alongside critical minerals, Mine 2022 highlighted the record-breaking financial performance of the world’s top miners in 2021 and examined whether this will remain in the future amid heightened cost pressures.

Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) also made an appearance in the report, with gold driving increased deal activity in 2021 while critical minerals companies also jostled for position in the constant pursuit of growth and expansion.

PwC explores environmental, social and governance (ESG) as the final theme of Mine 2022, a concept growing in stature within the global mining industry and one that will increasingly influence investor sentiment into the future....

Cheers Bamps! That's all helpful. TT

Hi Bamps, I'm a bit behind on all of the recent drilling and locations, and what we're likely due now. What assays are you expecting on Thursday please (as well as maybe some decline figures)?

"Don't forget the copper"!

@ BOJO2020 Everyone is, of course, entitled to their view. However, maybe you've missed, that the past week or so, this BB has, essentially, been plagued, by de-ramping, clueless trolls! Sure, with respect, you may not have noticed it, but I certainly have, along with a load of other people, who've been posting here for many years now. They're just classic posts, with some, if not all, of the indicators that seasoned investors can spot a mile away!

GLA!
