Indeed, the camp has gone. This can be interpreted in two ways: the camp was merged with the havieron camp. Since the drillholes are not very far away from the havieron camp, the exploration could also be done from there. Or they could have finished the SWAG drilling, in which case we should get results pretty soon, as gh indicated in the interview. I believe in this interpretation.
I'm currently looking to see if a camp is being set up at another location. So far i've only checked black hills, there is no sign of any change.
@Strudel: I wish you good improvement. I had that once too, very painful. ATB

If Artemis Apollo target hits then half of it might be on our ground. See Artemis todays quartely report, Fig. 5, Page 9.

strudel,
you´re right, as of yet no activitiy on Artemis ground on Sentinel2 visible. I checked that. (But a lot of activity for weeks on Antipas/Rios JV ground for those interested).

I count three spots plus the Scallywag-Camp:
- first one ca. 200m east of what Paddy named as KRA 003. This seems to be the centre of Kraken and together with KRA002 we have a line of three locations with ca. 200m between them.
- second is what Paddy named KRA 001.
- third is the one far in the west that Paddy named SCAL001.
For me it has the impression that activitiy is somewhat increasing. Unfortunately we can´t say for shure that every spot is the radar reflection of a rig. Else I would conclude that there are now three rigs active. But who knows...
Nevertheless I like what I see.

@Strudel Your guess is right.

The new Sentinel-2-image shows lively activities across the Scallywag-prospects. I spotted three differences between the 18.08.2020 and todays image:
- the two, maybe three spots ca. 800m west to the camp already seen before changed appearance
- a new spot occured ca. 250m south-east of the camp (a further spot ca. 500m south-east of the camp that occured on 18.08.2020 for the first time didn´t change)
- a clear dark spot occured ca. 1,6 km north-west of the camp. It is ca. 400m north-west of the edge of the Havieron access road. This spot lies north of the next dune and I would interpret that as a Kraken-drillspot.
To me it seems the campaign is gaining speed at different Scallywag-places at the same time.
(Unfortunately today I don´t have the time to produce a pdf of the spots, sorry)

The new "nocturnal"/radar sentinel 1 image (05.08.2020) shows a clear sign at the scallwag location. It first appeared at the same place on the 24.07.2020 image but was not as clear and bright as the new spot. So preparations for drilling are on the way.

Each time a new nocturnal/radar-satellite-image is availabe I scan Greatland Gold´s other prospects looking for hints of operating activity. Nothing so far. But now on the current Sentinel 1 image (18.06.2020) a spot at the Kraken location caught my eyes that wasn´t there on the previous images. Its position is at the corner of the Havieron access road just above the Scallywag/Kraken-prospect.
As its of the same brightness as the spots we see at the Havieron drilling site and no further spots of the same brightness up to Havieron are to be seen I dare to conclude that this might be a sign of activity. This should be taken with all due caution.
The following image is an overlay of the current Sentinel 1 over Sentinel 2 at the same position. The second image is the position of the spot marked on Paddys image of the Havieron access road and the different prospects. Maybe anybody else with access to a current planet.com (I haven´t subscribed yet) likes to crosscheck the site and take a closer look. The coordinates are: Lat: -21.69431 Lng: 122.57794

Here is an overlay of the last two Sentinel-1 images over the current Sentinel-2-image. Paddy, AM90, Strudel already gave good advices on image interpretation. Thanks a lot for this.

Yes, there seems to be activity in the SW (and elsewhere). I compared todays image and the last clear image of 15.05.2020. There are clear differences in the images. In some places the activity seems obvious to me, in others I´m not sure. The later is especially because the rainfall seems to have caused some changes in the vegetation too. So it is not easy to distinguish what is man made and what is mother natures work. I also checked the scally and the black hills places. On scally I just spotted differences that I would interpret as changes in vegetation, on black hills as well (even though the is a spot at -20.60768 122.46938 where I´m not shure). Anyway, I will wait what master paddy will teach us on the chages at havieron.

To further validate the significance of single dots in the nocturnal images I did some research on last years Black Hills campagn. (As I did before at the location of Kraken where I saw clear spots last year). At Black Hills I found two clear spots at places where the daylight images before and afterwards show definitely different onground structures and pathes which look like survey/drilling areas. So to me it looks clear that bright single spots at a place where there was no spot before and it disappears afterwards are signs of ground activity. If I find the time I will take some screenshots of the two Black Hills-spots .
I agree to you view of "a few far flung perimeter holes "just in case" " around Havieron.

@Strudel
Sorry for the delayed answer, my annoying day time job keeps me away from research and earning money, haha. I checked both positions you mentioned (22.10.19 and 15.11.19, very good observations btw) and came exactly to the same result as you did: On both sites the day-images before and after didnt´t show any visible activity. So thats either due to lager timeframes between the nocturnal images or these are just one of the few random "noise" lights on the nocturnal images. But for the later in my opinion both spots look too clear and bright. So I would tend to the conclusion that something or someone was at these positions by that time.

@ Strudel
As fas as I can see the position you mentioned is in the S / SW. I can´t see anything in the nocturnal image of 22.10.2019. Are you sure the coordinates are correct or is it my fault?
@paddy: Thanks again for your superb analysis.
value_seeker
Yes, I have an eye on it. But so far nothing to report about that.

Hi Strudel
I saw the two images you posted on 13.05.20 regarding the 4th small ore body and CBs 3D image, very intersting stuff. Thanks for that. I'm as curious as your are why some lights are blue rather than green. It may have something to do with intensity and/ore sprectrum of the source of reflection to the satellite. If you take a look at nocturnal Telfer there are spots in different colours as well. But I´m no expert in this, only self educating. (BTW, I liked your remarks very much on how you got familiarized with satellite images. I felt very much the same: As first everythind looks just like desert but the longer you deal with it the clearer you can see the structures. Black Hills is a good example for this).

This is an overlay of the latest Sentinel-1-„night“-image over the latest Sentinel-2-day-image of Havieron: I left the day-image darker so that the dots on places of activity can be seen easier, including the weak blue spots. Comparing the images shows a few changes in activity in the north-east and in between the dunes. The green spot north-west of the drilling centre that appeared on sentinel-1 on 01.05.20 for the first time is still there. So they are not finished there yet.

strudel,
maybe you're right with your interpretation(s) of the SW activities. Sooner or later it will be revealed, we just have to be patient.
value_seeker
This is the new Sentinel-1-„night“-image of Havieron: Apart from activity in the north-east the most interesting from my point of view is the new green spot north-west of the drilling centre. This is the „open“-direction.
