Maybe, like at Havieron, Newcrest didn't originally drill deep enough at Dekka?

Indeed Paddy! As you imply, the only real concern that anyone should have about the increasing value of Havieron going forward is missing out...GLA

IMHO we entered a new commodity super cycle several months ago, towards the end of last year.

A little different from the usual, being production oriented, but an interesting piece, IMHO:

Who know's (apart from Newcrest of course!)?, but a lot of people are looking forward to these next results:

"Growth drilling programme at Havieron underway - initial focus on NW crescent and Northern Breccia - last results from Northern Breccia (reported 10 Dec 2020) included 298.8m @ 1.2g/t Au (HAD105) - potential block cave territory in my view - looking forward to next set of results"

"...Havieron, which is our flagship asset, which is currently underway with a great drilling campaignin the first half of this year, and super excited what that is going to unlock for shareholders."

It's Sunday at 6.25 pm and all I can say is thank you to all the many contributors, be they investors, or not, who have made one of the most interesting weekend threads to read for some time!

As always, some very opposing viewpoints, but given without the usual idiot aggressiveness that we generally see here, mainly at weekends.

That's surely what it's all about, an intelligent debate, from which we can all make our minds up going forwards! DYOR & GLA! TT

Agreed mercedesman!

The often questioned, takeover of Greatland Gold and all of it's assets, or a partial buy out?

IMHO, a 100% buyout of Havieron by NCM is inevitable in the next 12 months, or so. I don't believe that they'd want anything different, and would want total control going forwards.

As for a 100% takeover of Greatland Gold, then I'm not so sure. Much will depend on future drill assays from, especially, the Juri J/V, as well as other GGP tenements.

@ Spymaster 25 "I think it's abundantly clear which posters are too busy worrying about daily prices, buys are sells or vice versa, etc Ultimately, that's how some are. "

Indeed! I never got it and, quite frankly, I probably never will!

But then I've said it for years, if not decades now, and I continue to do so, and question quite why some investors feel the need to continually post their daily sp forecasts, when, quite frankly, they fall upon deaf ears anyway, and, are VERY rarely correct, and on the VERY rare occasion that they may be correct, they seem to think, in their arrogance, that they know something that anyone else doesn't.

Ho Hum....Everyone to their own...GLA & DYOR

Neither do I! Like all of these media pieces, they're largely personal views. What Alex Hamer also says is that predicting the end of a bull run is "a fool's errand,"

He also, fairly, gives opposing views on the price of gold,

"Gold hit a new record of $2,061/oz in August last year off the back of huge investment demand. It retreated slowly back below $1,700/oz by March as the investment demand dropped. The weaker US dollar and Treasury yields have seen traders go back to gold in recent weeks, however.

Saxo Bank head of commodity strategy Ole Hanson said a further dip was unlikely.....

....Wealth manager Incrementum, which publishes an annual report called ‘In Gold We Trust’, has a “conservative” forecast of $4,800/oz by 2030. This is more optimistic than the banks, although they rarely look that far ahead....

Bernstein has a long-term forecast of $1,500/oz, although puts the 2022 and 2023 average at $1,950/oz. Macquarie Bank has a long-term forecast of $1,400/oz, and sees the metal falling below $1,700/oz fairly quickly. "

So, as always, for every bull, there is probably a bear...I'm a bull myself. TT

Paddy, do you fancy making a new Telfer AISC based on the current CU price? TT

Who knows, but it's darn close now @ $1794 as i write!

Some good thoughts from Steve Toduruk, thanks Spades.

Another 'big' discovery...Sure, we're explorers and that's what we're exploring for...

I certainly believe that the probability of someone (hopefully us!) finding another 'big' discovery in the Paterson has increased over the past couple of years, based on other drilling/finds in the area.

That said, let's be quite straight here, Havieron is still open in all directions and at depth. Havieron in many ways could kind of still be our next 'big' discovery as it grows! If you get my drift. TT

When Alastair Ford 'speaks', I listen! TT

.... as Greatland, Antipa and others swing into action.

Could we be on the cusp of a new round of discoveries in the north of Western Australia?

What the money is chasing here is another exploration success along the lines of the Greatland Gold PLC (LON:GGP) discovery that was made at Havieron, on the Paterson Range, a few years ago. The initial gold intercepts at Havieron were some of the best seen in the mining industry in recent years, and after that performance was repeated it was no surprise to anyone that Newcrest horned in on the project to put up some big bucks for a big stake, in the process carrying Greatland’s market capitalisation up beyond the £900mln mark. That’s were the valuation is now, mark you – it has been even higher.....

Despite being adversely affected by the covid-19 pandemic, global gold production still surpassed 100 million ounces in 2020 and is expected to bounce back this year as economies continue to recover and miners ramp up operations.

To see which mining operations were the biggest contributors to the world’s gold output, MINING.com and sister company MiningIntelligence collaborated to provide a ranking of the top gold producers based on production for the 2020 calendar year....

Indeed! It could be a very interesting week coming with all the latest GGP/NCM news due, but also if we see the POG hit the $1800 level or above! GLA & DYOR

$1797 as I write...

Largely now today 4:1 buys to sells...No manipulation here Guv!
