@ PreserveCapital I admire your honesty and your strategy mainly reflects mine with GGP stock too.

IMHO, the recent sp moves to me would indicate the complete opposite, but good luck in your personal strategy anyway. As always, only time will tell. TT

Thanks anyway Scottjsb, a good reminder!

I totally appreciate thet it may sound trite from me again, but it was largely down to Gervaise Heddle and my personal feeling that I could trust him. I've always believe that first impressions are important. You can't generally research everything, but I did spend some time on Greatland Gold. When you get comments from GH about Havieron initial drilling assays of the likes of, "Geologists in their 40 year career could go for 40 years and not see results like this." you sit up and listen. Well, I've continued to listen, and buy, and top up, my latest in nearly 2 years last week at 24p when it was patently obvious that we were oversold. There's a long way to go yet, mostly up, but I'm sure we'll see drops too, it's normal, but, let's be clear here, Havieron alone is panning out to be a once in a generation motherlode, maybe even more.

dsmith57 Indeed! Also, IMHO, those specific words, "M&A and corporate experience" say (and was maybe designed to say) a great deal!

It was some of Gervaise Heddle's comments about Greatland Gold that caused me to make my first investment back in January 2018. It was Gervaise Heddle's brilliant management of Greatland Gold, and further comments, particularly about Havieron, that made me top up since, when BB trolls were calling me a fool. I'm more than happy to be topping up again at these oversold levels with Gervaise Heddle.

Nice to see Gervaise Heddle joining me in buying at these levels. TT

Silver prices leapt to a five-month high on Monday and small silver miners listed in Australia surged after social media calls to buy the metal and emulate the frenzy that has driven GameStop shares up 1,500% in two weeks.

@ Dillon2019 "Posted with some sarc but as usual some don't have a sense of humour. I can understand why people are leaving this BB."

Funnily enough I have a great sense of humour, but I don't understand where the "sarc" was in your post?

However, if the blatant inaccuracies in the post were meant as a "sarc" I do apologise.

@ TomE Thanks for your views, much appreciated and totally agree. Sure, I've top sliced a bit when it suited my personal life situation over the past couple of years. However, even though I'm essentially overbought in GGP, I still did top up last week, for the first time in around 2 years @ 24p. Why? Basically because I see it as a no-brainer at that level, going forwards.

Just my personal view at a LTH, nothing more. If the sp drops further next week, it's pretty irrelevant to me, as the fundamentals show a very different picture going forward, IMHO! TT

Of course it's all on paper and, quite frankly, as a LTH, I don't look at (regular) drops anything like as much as what I've gained over the years, and the profound expectation that that will continue with GGP, going forwards, for some considerable time!

If you're in this for the short term, fine! That's your choice, and I have absolutely no issue with that, but please don't bleat about it when the sp drops back! It's always been that way!

GLA & DYOR

Please LSE, can we at the very least have a 'Head in Hand' emoji?

Let's not forget:

Gervaise Heddle in June 2018, after the initial Havieron drill results, "Geologists in their 40 year career could go for 40 years and not see results like this."

David Lenigas (OK, I know, 'marmite', but..) describing Havieron as a "once in a generation resource, maybe two generations." it says it all!

DYOR!

Thanks Paddy! That's very helpful and informative! TT

Indeed, and as stated in the Newcrest Mining 2020 Annual Report, "The higher grade ore extracted from Havieron could materially improve Telfer’s All-In Sustaining Cost per ounce and increase its operational life. Telfer is the largest processing facility in the Paterson Province and has sufficient capacity and capability to process other discoveries in this region. Newcrest believes that the Paterson Province presents significant additional opportunities for Telfer in the future. "

Although it's only a 3 month period, so, I accept, difficult to extrapolate, take a look particularly at the current average Cu grade being achieved at Telfer of 0.11% Cu. Then take a look at all of the Havieron drill assays to date, which, on average, clearly show higher, and in some cases significantly higher Cu grades.

In the last Proactive video interview with Gervaise Heddle on Thursday he was at pains to stress the value and importance of the Copper grades at Havieron. In mentioning the ongoing consistently high Gold & Copper grades in three specific holes, he stated:

"All of those three holes that I just mentioned, they've all got approximately 0.5% Copper n them and that's very valuable and I'd remind people the value of that Copper in the system in addition to the Gold grades we're seeing."

In relation to this, the below recent article makes very important reading on this very subject, especially with reference to Havieron & Telfer:

Copper’s eight year high bodes well for copper-gold stocks
finfeed - 13th January 2021

...While the companies we will be discussing are at an early stage of pursuing much smaller projects than those operated by Rio Tinto, one factor they have in their favour is that they are targeting mineralisation that is also prospective for gold which continues to hover in the vicinity of US$1850 per ounce, implying healthy margins relative to production costs.

One of the key benefits experienced by copper-gold producers is the significant cost offset offered by the by-product, whether it be a predominantly copper mine with gold credits or a gold mine that benefits from the additional sale of copper...

...Our case study examines Australia’s largest gold mining group, Newcrest Mining (ASX: NCM).

In order to narrow the focus and simplify the means of comparison, we highlight a three month period of operation, being the June quarter of fiscal 2020.

Newcrest’s key producing assets in Australia are its gold-copper Cadia Project in New South Wales and the Telfer gold-copper-silver mine in Western Australia....

Exactly dtrip, same here, and research. research, research!

And buy in/top up too at stupid levels, IMHO!
