Have stayed away from the bb. owing to a few grumbles which no one would like to hear. Without being aware of an ex-divi date I took up another parcel this afternoon thinking we cannot go much lower. Have been completely nonplussed by SP performance but presume I am not alone.

I took up another modest wedge today as my rating on Blakeley et al. is a high one.
Upcoming results could be better than expected.
Further acquisition prospects could be the driver here.
Ardern & co. seem to be muddled at present which may add to Maari delays.
A minor problem though.

Last three trades @ 80p.
Could be a delayed one after the bell.
Tomorrow holds some promise.

Unusual . . . As I'm quoted 77p to buy and 79p to sell for the past 20 minutes
this could get interesting this afternoon.

Earlier = 77p vs 78p, currently 2 vs 2 / 77p v 79p, remainder 80p and 84p.
JSE is a stock that can quietly creep up on you.
Bid = 77.5p

Recovery in Toronto has been quite good. Should have bought a few more last week but have been determined not to jump all over the shop with a promising p/f.

@ 11:39 - Rather drawn out like my almost daily 10 - 15 km runs around Barton-on-Humber a few years ago. Not much changed except the rain. The beet and brussels sprouts always seemed to thrive. Tidal activity on the Humber was always interesting.

@ midday - Expected but it would be useful to know what aspect{s) are being worked on.
With Brent again over $70 the kitty must be quite healthy.

. . . because I'd like to think we can emulate this sort of output and performance at some point.

Tony, you could best be guided by -

and not by anything said by us. MZ carries a lot of clout in Lima and with ONP. If anything, ~700k storage facility with 2 x 220k pending barge shipments down the Ucayali must rank as a pretty good third option and insurance for the remainder of 2021. No current difficulties with indigenes. We are about to overcome water cut dispersal and a pump replacement.

ONP stats are unlikely to be the perfect indicator but are worth checking weekly. See -

Brent appears to have again turned a corner but then I had expected it to reach Nearly $80. Nothing wrong though with $73. See -

Laid up for another week and with time on my hands. Geita has been a big producer and Shanta will be hard-pressed to match it. NLGM has a footprint over 7 km so it's not impossible to match it.

Zooming in on the link and moving around on a very clear aerial is informative. It is pre-December 2020 when the third 10tph mill was commissioned and substantial solar panel additions were erected to the left of six generators.

There are some very good aerial gold mine videos. I would enjoy the prospect next year of Shanta putting up a drone and recording footage around Lupa and even progress at Singida. Admittedly top of the range models cost nearly £2k but it's easy enough to accomplish. Some fun for the mine manager during a tea break.

I read posters' overviews on gold subject without fail and have little idea of how the future will unfold.

Looking back - indulgence, yes - I recall the 1970s:
Gold bullion $35/oz. Battling with letters of credit, quoting cargoes from Cape Town and Durban in USDs, much of it to Freeport Rotterdam, always a stack of $s in the strongroom. Having been raised on £-s-d it took a bit of getting used to. Most calcs were mentally done, no computers at that time.

Big changes lie ahead. Will the $ (as we know it) survive? The euro looks to be a lame duck at best. Another 30% increase in UK exports, especially to the Continent, may strengthen GBP. Looks encouraging.

Footnote - Bushiangala during Acacia's time was the weaker link. Isulu prospects have now surged ahead. With another rig onsite the next six months could signal mid-tier status.

Still wonder if Guidry (GTE) isn't something of a spanner in the works.
Castil-sation is not the main factor here.
The latest link deserves a second read.
Nuances are apparent showing the BoD are pressing ahead with planning.

"constellations of gold"
Seven nonstop weeks of travel and work.
He's a hard worker. East Africa, unless you're in the highlands, can be exhausting.
EZ could well be looking at other greenstone belt opportunities in Kenya.
That interviewer, with practice, has become skilled.
Third rig now on hand to speed things up in WK.
Currently Shanta has a ridiculous valuation.
Looking forward to the next leg of results which could propel estimates.

Deskbound for next 12 days with a smashed hand

Shall catch up at some point.
I think EZ will be visible right at the end (2 hours).

As expected, a muted response. No need to highlight any section as holders will have quietly assimilated all points.

Although Brent continues with somersaults I'd like to think it will continue in its current trading range.
Had anticipated ~$80 but always felt end-August might put the brakes on.
Looks as though a couple of Ucayali 2 x 220k barge shipments are on the table.
Have taken up some JSE and TXP but have not finished here yet.
Looking forward to Constitucion/#107 developments which seem to be heating up.

We knew about steps taken with KK Security up north. The above is another illustration of the planning minutiae required as Singida gets ready for 30k ozs p/a.

Noted that the accompanying comment was from a "wangzihao", manufacturer of ventilation systems
. . . wonder if they are busy at the mine.
Previous method was a truncated tube into the main tunnel.

Tornado. A timely reminder. Jomo Kenyatta and arap Moi screwed things for years.
I don't think the country can afford a repetition of those days.
On the other hand Jacob Zuma and the cadres down south did a pretty good job wrecking SA's economy. And Mugabe equally ruined Zim after Ian Smith's best efforts.

I still believe Lihranda has a 3m oz bonanza, maybe more.

. . . must be a really cheerful optimist in real life. :)

Looks as though my criticism was misplaced. SP is recovering.
JSE is a sound company and Blakeley has made it clear that he is on the lookout for more acquisitions.
