Funding I'm wondering how were placed to progress with next phase. Suspect the revised reserves figure will help when it comes to securing investment to facilitate operations? Thoughts.... Am expecting good things here....Thar there's gold in dem hills.....

Nugget Nice find ![link] gold nugget worth £10,000 found near Wanlockhead6 hours ago From the section South ScotlandMuseum trustee Gerard Godfrey and gold panner Leon Kirk have predicted a 'gold rush'A nugget of gold found in a river in the Southern Uplands is thought to be the most significant discovery in Scotland in the past 70 years.The 20 carat golden nugget, which weighed about 18.1g (0.6oz), has an estimated value of £10,000.It was discovered by a Canadian man during a gold panning course near Wanlockhead in the Lowther Hills.However the man, known as John, was so unimpressed by his discovery, he almost threw it back in the water.He said: "We were a few minutes into panning when I found the nugget with a bean tin, an underwater viewing tin with a glass base."I saw the piece lying just under the surface of the water and picked it up. It didn't look like much and I was just about to throw it back when I thought I should double-check with Leon first."I said 'is this gold?' and couldn't understand his excitement."Looking at the size of the piece I still can't believe it's such a big deal but it's very interesting to watch the reactions."The gold nugget, which weigh 18.1g, is estimated to be worth £10,000His instructor, Leon Kirk, said the last significant find of Scottish gold was a fraction of the size.It was found in the area in 2002 and it weighed 4.1g (0.14oz)."I like to tell my students that everyone goes home with a flake or two of gold, but this is exceptional," Mr Kirk said."I always knew there were sizable nuggets in these hills but, in my decades of panning, have only found very small pieces or flakes."He added: "This is such a major discovery that people will be talking about it in 30 years' time."Gold nuggets of this size are extremely rare in Scotland and any that are found command a premium price.Mr Kirk said: "I am over the moon. This find leaves a really positive message that there are still big nuggets out there to be found just a few inches beneath the water."The gold panning course operates out of Wanlockhead's Museum of Lead Mining.Museum trustee Gerard Godfrey said: "We are absolutely delighted with such a significant find. No doubt there will be a mini gold rush once this gets out but we are very happy with that."We welcome responsible panners to the area and have all the equipment and information necessary for experienced or novice enthusiasts."There is now no doubt that there are some very large pieces of gold in these hills which are just waiting to be discovered."

Fools Gold [link] steal sediment in Tyndrum gold mine break-in3 hours ago From the section ScotlandThe Cononish gold mine is in the Stirlingshire hills near TyndrumPolice are investigating after thieves broke into a gold mine near Tyndrum.The Cononish gold mine and outbuildings were broken into sometime between Thursday, 28 May, and Monday.Thieves cut padlocks and stole samples of stream sediment, which police confirmed contained no gold.Officers said the culprits would have had to walk along a three-mile rough track in order to access the remote site. They appealed for anyone with information to come forward.

He commented: "This is most certainly an exciting discovery. The mineralisation at Sron Gharb has the characteristics of a classic magmatic Cu-Ni sulphide deposit with elevated precious metals. The ratios of sulphur and selenium indicate that the magma has been contaminated by sulphur-bearing crustal rocks - a key factor in helping to generate deposits of this kind. Intriguingly, the geochemical signatures show that the sulphides cannot have gained their high precious metal contents without the presence of a much larger magmatic system than is current exposed. If this has been preserved beneath the current surface (as a larger intrusion or conduit system), it could represent a potential host for massive sulphide mineralization at depth."
