Hmmm - what got everyone so annoyed at that time, was your actual detailed 'expert' calculations "based on a bit of maths" that came up with "in reality" around half the subsequently announced 15.5Mt - then you covered your arse by a condescending (non-maths) 'fudge' to not 'upset people'. You even finished by stating that the JORC would come in LOWER than 12Mt. [So how did that work out for you?]
"so a total of only 8-9Mt in reality, but I didn't want to upset people so upped it to 12-15Mt at 1.7%, but the JORC will come in LOWER than that." [Post #:19829204]
Based on your actual 'maths' you were out by as big a margin as a lot of the 20Mt+ ("WAG") estimates that you were so scathing about...
It must be tough to make such a fundamental error after all your expertise and research? Or given your superior experience in these matters, might you possibly, as some suggested, have 'an agenda' at that time?
[Remember you had just previously admitted on HC that you'd bought a massive holding in BGS and waxed positive lyrically about the prospects and the long-term value in BGS - and then shortly afterwards sold them for a modest profit. Why would anyone doubt your intentions?]
Personally I don't care one way or another how you trade - but my hypocrisy meter started ticking wildly when you start telling everyone how fair and straight-down-the-line you always are... and use your recent success in underestimating the BGS JORC as your supporting 'facts'.
Humility, ozblue...
