" The disappointment at Talisman doesn't change the prospectivity of the Vanuatu tenements."@robbo24 you are correct, decades of letdowns at Talisman does not change the prospects in Vanuatu. However, with all due respect, the NTL directors & management does, rather severely I might add.
I've been on the HGD/HTM - NTL journey for quite some time. Like you, my wife and I have been on a similar personalized tour of the mine, which was nearly 11 years ago now.
Remember Anton?

So where's my gold? Where's my dividends? Where's the increase in the capital value of my investment?
Oh yes, I guess I should be thankful for one thing. I had almost forgotten those two quartz rocks about the size of my fist, that Anton lets us takes away from the mine on that days as he said it was only low grade ore anyway. Do you remember that ore Robbo? That very small pile to the left of the portal as you approached it, where the little stream ran across the foot path to the bit of ponding water on the right of the path with the kōura scuttling around in it? Well those two rocks are still out in our flower garden somewhere, but they are only visible during the winter when all of the plants have died back, just like my investment has.
