Hi everyone …
Thank you for putting up the video of Simon Lawson at the Australian Gold Conference in Sydney last week
@stealth10 - it’s the first time I have ever heard Simon speak.
But - nevertheless - I do have a long history here, and - whilst I am no ‘goldbug’, I know the area has been prospected even longer than my interminable holding, with the company previous to Gascoyne exploring then mining it ‘dry’, and Gascoyne spending many thousands (millions?) of dollars in the area on external consultants and more - trying to make operations viable once it did not find the expected gold that had caused the mill to be built and started the whole shebang.
…. And so, whilst I’m very excited at the turnaround story and finally being back in the green (this time round), I’m also a bit cynical.
Simon only had ten minutes to speak so I guess that’s the reason for the implication that earlier teams were just inept or didn’t bother but there’s plenty of people out there who know that’s not true!
And the story here has changed so much!
Anyway looking forward; I have some questions to the experts please:
1) …. Back in September 2018 - five years ago - the GCY price soared on some astonishing visible gold at Tanqueray that
[ref] I read was indicative of a Paleo Channel - an underground river of gold. (8M @ 373.5g/t GOLD (INC 3M @ 987g/t GOLD) INTERSECTED IN VERY FIRST RC DRILLING AT THE TANQUERAY PROSPECT)
Does Never Never have any geographical (or any other) connection to that?
2) On Simon’s Firefly thematic;
He was talking up Yalgoo
[Firefly drill results April 2021] not so long ago and Firefly was essentially merged into ‘dead pit Gascoyne’ on the strength of the FFX Melville Deposit?
… and so Simon became the new head honcho here
-where there was already a surface mining contractor on hand and a processing plant already to go start spitting out gold bars from Melville
..and yet no action - just closing down the plant and wandering off to explore what must have been the only area left in the vicinity that did not look like a pincushion?
…And then, thankfully that never say never Never Never new company maker!
Congratulations on finally turning the sow’s ear at GCY into a potential silk purse Simon … but can someone please remind me why Melville was abandoned?
3) And a question on the forward potential;
Maybe I missed it but who is likely to be contracted as the underground miner here now that mining the pit will be an underground operation.
And how long would it take to organise ?
4) Finally … past drilling suggested (I think?) underground potential beneath the Sly Fox pit.
Does Never Never have anything to do with that?
Thanks in advance
cheers
