  2. Looking for stoploss on line.
    AOTonline? Challenger.com? Any others? AOT seems reasonable, $33 trade, $49.95/month, free if more than 8 trades/month. If database isn't accessed then $0/month. Seems reasonable, any opinions?

  10. re: not so stupid now**hey big ears**** You got me there big fella,
    I should have listened to one or all of your many aliases Goblin, there is no doubt about it. I'd be buying flat out at 23c today if I had. Ah well, thems the breaks. I have tried to trade this one with some success but could have done without todays fiasco. Still, I've been in and out since 8c so perhaps not such a blow. Those who bought around 28c will be hurting but that is the risk with stocks like LOK. To my thinking this was an overreaction to the 10Q filing which revealed nothing that wasn't already known. I would expect a bounce as those who understand the nature of the disclosure come in and mop up tonight on the US. Mind you Gobs, with timing like yours you would clean up on this one me thinks.

  17. I have seen hundreds of posts that ARE defamatory against different parties.

    My conscience is clear; I don't feel any remorse about what I posted. Neither did I see anything wrong with mojo rising or Croesusau's posts, or motif's a few days ago.

    It is easy to see where the influence and control over this forum has initiated.

    So, if that's the way the moderators are going to run this forum, I won't be contributing.

  18. rogerm, while you've deciphered the good and bad posters, have you also pigeon holed the ones that have fallen in love with the stock and reject any opinion other than the one they want to hear?
    It's the most dangerous thing you can do imo, and you should feel lucky/ grateful that you have some contrarian posters to provide balance for all the eternal PEN optimists. But what would I know?
    PEN is very tradable, but not out of the woods by a long way imo.

  19. So you can see both sides of the story matty.
    I'm in the same boat having traded PEN from time to time.
    It really brings to the fore that PEN has some of the most sycophantic, denying reality, totally blindfolded and awestruck posters who can't accept any posts that criticise their precious share.
    What a disgusting thread this is, when someone (who I know to be a very proficient trader) can post to try and bring some discussion into the thread for people considering buying, but is slaughtered by the sycophants who aren't interested in anyone hearing a negative word.
    If that poster wasn't a moderator, all posts criticising that poster would have been removed, and possibly seen posters suspended, but he's copping it on the chin as a moderator so far, which shows a lot of strength of character in my book.
    Shame on many of you.

  21. Agree seuss.
    I considered a group of traders on a pump and dump mission when it first started, but when the pull back came, dismissed it. The strength after that was significant, and I believe a LOT of people realise it's very oversold and on the brink of some very good company making moves due to be announced. Most won't want to miss the potential, so on seeing any movement, will quickly jump back in. That's no pump and dump.
    • *Removed* this post has been removed from public view
  22. I know. Maybe I didn't explain myself very well.
    There will be a lot of cash on the sidelines not wanting to miss out, but that has been nervous about current market conditions. Movement in stock price is enough to bring that money back in. Nothing to do with management, just investor psychology imo.

  24. Do you have a 2.7 million deposit for a new home?
    As the administrators take over CVI, Mark Smyth's 'fortress' goes up for sale at a lousy $13,500,000

    Now, with a 2.7million deposit, and interest rate of 7.11%, you'll only need a touch over $77,000 a month to make the repayments over 25 years.

    Feeling sick enough yet?
    Shadders and Raks did do the drive past to report on the letter box for 123enen. I remember it well from just after the EGM days.

    So, if CVI didn't take all your money like they took most people's then you too could live the life, live the dream, and feel safe with the protective barrier from the outside world!

    Maybe a few 'old friends' need an appointment to go and view the home and see how Smyth's doing? Is the dementia well advanced yet? Any house guests? Malcolm Johnson, Anton Tarkanyi, excelsior perhaps?

  27. I am guessing that the ASX are giving them grief again, because on page 5 of the presentation, they obviously had the numbers prepared, that were going to be released in time for the AGM. (Obviously again is my guess)

    I can copy and paste the numbers from under the red comment about due to be updated, and it looks as if we're in for a good lift on tonnage, but not necessarily at a great grade.
    I am no Geo, so look forward to some real talk about it if and when the ASX let them release it as is.

    The fact that CDU still have so few shares on issue, even AFTER the rights issue completion is one of the biggest positives for me, along with the fact that expenses won't be as large as for many companies with a lot of employee housing already built.

    Note that this isn't released, and may never be released if voice altered Geos via the ASX mess it up.
    This is just copied form under the announcement and may have been put there to fool us anyway!

  28. I find that post rather repugnant and cynical cusox.
    Right now, imo it's a buy.

    What does that have to do with anything else?
    Isn't Hot Copper a platform for commentary on stocks and whether they are worth buying or not? If we didn't comment, there would be no Hot Copper

    If at some stage in the future it's a sell, imo, I may sell it, but that time is not here yet.
    Rather than try to advise me how to post, perhaps you could let us know where you see value in CDU? Do you wait for it to be proven and moving up again?

    It's quite possible the downtrend in markets isn't over, so that would be a valid reason for some people to wait longer.
    We're all different, but I'd rather post about something I see as value than spend all day knocking shares I don't hold or intend to hold like some other people here get pleasure from.

  30. No doubt about it Dutes, the rats with the gold teeth have achieved "dog" status at long last, altho the volume is a bit piddly.

    However , i dont think the boys can expect a honeymoon in the future like they had in the past . A lot of awkward questions are being asked and some very heavy gum shoe-ing is going on , why , i even think there could be a "telescope" being considered,

    Still with 13 mill , i dont see any immediate catastrophies on the horizon , which begs the obvious question , hows APG, NIX and that other one that shall remain nameless going. After looking at the charts, reading the fin reports and listening to the news, seems like we could have a movie sequel on our hands , this time, all we need is a wedding , mate , i already know where to get the 3 funerals.

  34. I get your drift joewolf.
    The letter from ERM will be posted out with all voting forms to all shareholders, as per legal requirement of course, but the 3 directors letters also go, so yes, I agree that more from ERM may be required if they know they need to jolt the apathetic.

    Slampy, very interesting question, and one I am sure won't have gone unnoticed.

    Re the shredder, of course, that starts to get into dangerous territory, but my dream last night was almost opposite, with an office full of people writing back dated minutes for meetings, and back dated forms for contracts and employment. It was a hectic dream, and I hope there's no reality in it at all.

    Decided to “drill down” into the Fluid history…

    Gold Deposition at Hill End – Paragenesis and Fluid Evolution

    The Hill End goldfield formed during the Devonian period, with gold introduced during multiple deformation and metamorphic events. Detailed paragenesis studies, radiometric dating, and fluid inclusion analyses have established that the main gold deposition occurred post-peak metamorphism, during later deformation phases. Below is an expanded explanation of these key processes and stages.


    1. Peak Metamorphism and Early Fluid Evolution (Stage I–II, ~370–365 Ma)

    Metamorphic Context:

    • Hill End’s host rocks (Silurian-Devonian turbidites, mainly sandstone, siltstone, and shale) underwent regional greenschist-facies metamorphism during the Tabberabberan Orogeny (~370–365 Ma).

    • During peak metamorphism, these sediments experienced temperatures of ~350–400°C and pressures of ~3–4 kbar, causing ductile deformation and folding to form the Hill End Anticline.

    • Fluids Generated: As metamorphic fluids were expelled from the sediment pile during peak burial, they were primarily high-temperature, low-salinity fluids rich in CO₂ and CH₄, with minimal metal content. These fluids created early barren quartz veins (Stage I) with chlorite ± pyrite but deposited little or no gold.

    Structural Evolution:

    • The folding generated open anticlines and synclines, creating conduits for later fluid flow.

    • Vein development was initially minor – mostly quartz with occasional low-grade sulfides. These early veins formed along bedding planes and fold hinges but were pre-gold in nature.


    2. Main Gold Deposition (Stage III & IV, ~356–343 Ma)

    Fluid Influx and Structural Reactivation:

    • After peak metamorphism, the fold structures and bedding-parallel vein systems were reactivated during late-stage deformation. This reactivation opened up dilation zones in the anticline limbs and along reverse faults, creating hydraulic conduits for fluid flow.

    • During this period, gold-bearing hydrothermal fluids were introduced into these newly formed or reopened structural sites.

    Radiometric Dating and Fluid Chemistry:

    • Radiometric Dating:

    o Dating of arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite associated with gold suggests that two main gold pulses occurred at Hill End:

    o The first at ~356 Ma (corresponding to Stage III of paragenesis).

    o The second at ~343 Ma (corresponding to Stage IV).

    o These dates place the main gold events well after peak metamorphism, consistent with the notion that mineralization occurred during the waning stages of the Tabberabberan Orogeny.

    • Fluid Inclusion Studies:

    o Fluid inclusions trapped in quartz veins at Hill End reveal that gold was precipitated from low-salinity, CO₂-rich metamorphic fluids.

    o Temperature and salinity data suggest that these fluids were:

    o ~293–340°C with salinities of 1–4 wt% NaCl equivalent.

    o Dominated by H₂O–CO₂–CH₄ fluids, with minor dissolved salts and sulphides.

    o The combination of low-salinity fluids and CH₄-rich gas phases is characteristic of mesothermal orogenic gold systems, suggesting a deep-seated metamorphic source of fluids.


    3. Gold Precipitation Mechanism: Stage III (~356 Ma) & Stage IV (~343 Ma)

    Stage III (~356 Ma): Main Gold Pulse

    • Structural Setting:

    o During this stage, reactivation of the Hill End Anticline’s limb faults and bedding-parallel shears allowed the first major pulse of gold-bearing fluids to infiltrate the system.

    o Quartz–sulfide veins formed preferentially along bedding-plane partings, reverse faults, and spur veins, particularly on the eastern limb of the Hill End Anticline.

    o These zones of dilation created ideal sites for gold deposition.

    • Fluid Composition and Precipitation:

    o The fluids during this phase were low-salinity H₂O–CO₂–CH₄ fluids with minimal hypersaline components.

    o Gold was precipitated primarily due to sulfidation reactions:

    o Fluid-wallrock interactions caused Fe-rich sediments (slates and siltstones) to react with the sulfur-bearing fluids, resulting in the formation of arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite.

    o Gold precipitated along with these sulfides, often as coarse free gold in the quartz veins.

    o Visible gold (up to 1,000 g/t Au in places) occurred where fluid mixing or pressure drops led to rapid gold saturation.

    • Associated Minerals:

    o Quartz ± carbonates (ankerite, siderite)

    o Sulfides (arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, pyrite)

    o Minor base metals (galena, sphalerite)


    Stage IV (~343 Ma): Second Gold Pulse

    Structural Reactivation:

    o A second episode of deformation occurred, reactivating existing vein structures and generating new brittle fractures in the fold limbs and reverse faults.

    o During this phase, the main gold zones were enriched and additional quartz–sulfide veining occurred, often overprinting earlier veins.

    Fluid Characteristics:

    o Similar to Stage III, the fluids were H₂O–CO₂–CH₄ dominated, but with slightly higher temperatures (~300–340°C).

    o Increased CO₂ content in the fluids likely increased the solubility of gold complexes, allowing for further gold mobilization and reprecipitation along earlier vein structures.

    Gold Redistribution:

    o Stage IV saw local remobilization of gold and formation of high-grade ore shoots where late-stage faults cut across the main bedding-parallel veins.

    o These later ore shoots tend to plunge steeply and are characterized by high-grade pods with coarse gold and abundant sulfides.


    4. Late-Stage Fluids and Minimal Gold Deposition (Stage V, Post-343 Ma)

    Final Fluid Events:

    • After the main gold deposition events, a later phase of low-temperature quartz–carbonate vein formation occurred during continued deformation and cooling of the system.

    • These fluids were higher-salinity, hypersaline brines (10–12 wt% NaCl equivalent) with traces of lead, antimony, and arsenic, indicating a different fluid source or mixing event.

    Hawkins Hill and Late Vein Formation:

    • At Hawkins Hill (part of the Hill End system), these later veins introduced:

    • Stibnite (Sb) – indicating minor antimony mineralization.

    • Galena (PbS) – suggesting some base metal association.

    Minimal Gold Addition:

    • While these late-stage fluids introduced sulfides and minor carbonates, they contributed very little additional gold to the system.

    • The bulk of Hill End’s gold had already been deposited during the earlier pulses (Stage III and IV), and these late-stage fluids had a more dilute gold tenor.


    5. Summary: Key Timing and Fluid Processes at Hill End

    • Stage I–II (~370–365 Ma): Early barren quartz veins formed during peak metamorphism with no significant gold.

    • Stage III (~356 Ma): Main gold pulse introduced during fold reactivation, with gold precipitated by sulfidation from low-salinity, CO₂-rich fluids.

    • Stage IV (~343 Ma): Second gold pulse during structural reactivation, enhancing earlier veins and forming high-grade shoots.

    • Stage V (Post-343 Ma): Late-stage quartz–carbonate veins with minor Sb–Pb minerals, adding little gold.

    These findings underscore that Hill End’s main gold endowment was emplaced during the waning stages of the Tabberabberan Orogeny, with structural reactivation providing the necessary fluid pathways and traps. The vein system is complex, with multiple generations of overprinting veins, but the highest grades correlate with the main gold pulses of Stage III and IV. This paragenetic understanding strengthens the case for continued exploration at depth, where additional gold-bearing fluid pulses may have extended the known high-grade shoots.
