more interest from the speculator

Hopefully this will finally give Scotgold a kick along tomorrow.

"Scotgold gets a run in the UK national press

We doubled our holding yesterday in Scotgold (SGZ) after two leading London newspapers ran glowing stories on the Australian-backed company’s developing gold mine north-west of Glasgow.

The London Times ran a half-page on November 12 under the headline Scotland’s first gold mine offers villages a glittering prospect.

The Guardian gave it the best part of a full page with photographs in a feature headlined Gold in them thar highlands: Surge in prices transforms village’s prospects.

A press tour to the site was organised by Scotgold’s chief executive, mining engineer Chris Sangster. The publicity is yet to be reflected in the share price, but it’s bound to encourage some UK interest, with production targeted to begin in 2011 at an initial 20,000 ounces and expectations that the resource, with 2200 square kilometres of company ground, could be expanded by at least five times."
