Tom, I haven't gone right back, but we've maybe seen 10-15% moves north in the 2-3 days prior to reports, but not 20-25%, with maybe more to come. GLA

15p or above today has me feeling more and more that maybe the cat is out of the bag on results, or something else is going on... GLA

Yup, it's like coins cascading out of a fruit machine!

Hi Tom,

I'm not a tax expert, but only throwing some thoughts out on the matter. However, it's certainly been mentioned for some years now in some of the financial media that the Government could introduce a lifetime cap on ISA savings in the future. You may well be correct in that it would not relate to anything held before such a cap, but I could see that being extremely complex. It would be easier to introduce the cap, together with an allowable amount for growth, with any gains above being taxed. If, when the cap was introduced, people had savings above the cap + growth allowance, then notice could be given that they must reduce their balances held or be taxed on returns on balances in the future.
As I say, I never put anything past government's when it comes to taxation, but, if you feel that it would not be legally possible to do this on ISA funds in place before a cap was introduced, you may be correct. In short I don't know.

Anyone that thinks that an ISA will always be safe from tax, think on...

With the rise in the number of ISA millionaires it's been muted for many years now that they are ripe for 'raiding', and this may especially be the case over the next few years as a way to cover the eye watering current spending. OK, it may not be taxation, as such, but a lifetime contribution limit could well be introduced on ISA's in future. For arguments sake let's just say it was £100,000. A cap could be introduced and then an allowance made for any growth. If you had already, or later exceeded that amount you could well be asked to reduce it, or be taxed on any returns above.

Nothing is certain, but death & taxes!

Indeed! Ford has mentioned, and also been a regular champion of GGP in most of his interview's over the past year or so, and rightly so, IMHO! GLA!

Great! Like a lot of investors, I'm very much looking forward to significantly more of 'our own' news now, going forward!

Of course NCM Havieron exploration reports are a huge, current part of our investment, but it'll be pleasing (hopefully!) to get more of our 100% Greatland owned results, as in the 'old days'! ;-)

I think that NCM are trying to say something...

"...of the six historic drill holes completed at Havieron, only two intersected the primary target and those two holes intersected only the very top of the mineralised system."

GH drilled deep...Bingo!

I'm waiting for his "may even see 20p" in the run up to the 23rd July NCM Quarterly Exploration Report.

Don't get me wrong, I'd be ecstatic if that happens, but it's probably, and has always been, just a bit far fetched, IMHO.

It's a lovely day here today. The sun is shining and many more people are out & about, enjoying life more, but under the continued threat of coronavirus.

Why would you want to ruin it all by mentioning anything to do with Lenigas & Clayton?!

By all means join the hype if you want and good luck! Personally I'd just stick with GGP myself.

Further to its announcement of 30th June, AusQuest Limited (ASX: AQD) is pleased to advise that proposed drilling of potential gold-copper targets at the Gunanya Project in the Paterson region of Western Australia has been approved under its Strategic Alliance Agreement with South32.

A Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program consisting of 6 to 9 drill-holes for a total of 1,800m has been agreed in order to provide an initial test of three targets defined by magnetics, and determine their potential to host large-scale gold and copper mineralisation, similar to that found at Winu (by Rio Tinto) and Havieron (by Newcrest).

Copper Rush Drawing Australian Titans; Australia To Climb the Supply Ladder?

- Base metals prices are finally showing some promising recovery after a brief plunge, especially copper, with its recent gain of ~ 41.74 per cent.
- The surge in copper prices is now finally providing an impetus to Australian miners to restart their suspended copper operations.
- Australia had bagged the seventh position in the global copper supply chain in 2019; however, the continent holds the second-largest reserve of copper, and with the surge in copper prices, many miners are now coming back on the frontline.
- Furthermore, the copper exploration expenditure is also witnessing some strong gain; however, has slumped in the March quarter, but is considerably up against pcp.
