RE:Totally clear now - goldencrane is a paid promoterTreetop,
No problem with your different views. Your constant bashing of AGG is annoying though and generally unconstructive because you are so one sided. If you had something positive to ever say then you would be more credible.
I find your last post offensive though and would prefer you to keep such thoughts to yourself. I am not paid to post on this board. My motivation is simple - I own A LOT of AGG stock and try to keep smaller investors informed in order to potentially get a better share price and less dilution for myself from ongoing fianncings. Why do you post? What is your motivation? You never say and it is strange to just waste time writing when there is no motive. I suspect you have a motive that you have not disclosed.
The gravity processing route being proposed has now been tested at two separate world class labs on opposite ends of the world on large samples. The locals use gravity solely to extract gold and have done so for a long long time. Yes I'm certain it will work. Will it achieve the recovery they have found to date, most likely but this is a risk.
The nugget effect is related only to an issue of sampling. The sampling error statistically has a downside bias and resource estimation methodlogy increases this bias through de-emphasising higher grade but non continuous holes. So you are wrong, in aggregate sampling effects cannot "equally likely overestimate an underestimate grade" over the global resource. On specific holes and in discrete areas overestimation is possible, but not in aggregate on the whole resource.
RESOURCES ARE NOT RESERVES. Yes this is true. In all cases it is impossible to extract all resources because of the need to make a pit so some loss is inevitable. In the case of AGG, we know the strike is much much bigger than the existing resource profile so the actual ozs extracted in my opinion will ultimately be bigger than the resource. If you believe in a positive nugget effect, this will also add a lot of extra ozs too.
Treetop perhaps you can add some true balance to your one sided arguments and explain your real motivation? Whilst JDN might be over the top at times and one eyed, at least his/her motivation is clear. You are worse because you are one-eyed and manipulative.
Why can't you just stick to some facts and not try to get personal.
