JaDEB, the search bar on the top of this site searches both this forum, and the old sharechat. Give it a try. I'm sure this is the thread between you and Theaphelion is the one you're looking for:

Yes, thanks. But  ??? 8) that, if the site does not work why should I rely on some1 else (you). I would then rather use your site. It is unfair to use your hard work, to search their site.

You concentrate on making your site work, leave theirs.

ERPM, ZIMBABWE
As reported last quarter, we intend to dispose of our ERPM underground mining asset in South Africa and our exploration assets in Zimbabwe. Various
expressions of interest have been received and these are being assessed, our objective being to secure the best deals that maximise value for shareholders.


LOOKING AHEAD
As we move into the exciting commissioning phase of the new flotation/fine-grind circuit at Ergo's Brakpan plant  our first delivery from our ongoing
research and development programme  we are cautiously optimistic about this project's ability to deliver into targeted operating and financial
performance. Meantime, as our strategic capital commitments come to an end, we remain focused on maximising the operating and financial capabilities
of the Brakpan plant's CIL circuit. A key element here is improved productivity, both at operational and individual employee level.

OK, as far as I can see I am talking to myself and Mr Bond.

I think a lot of us competition guys are reading, but don't feel experienced enough to make a contribution. I'm trying to learn from you guys who've been a round a while.

If i may, the improvement in production is a good positive, but based on the recently falling gold price, how many oz are in reserves that DRD can economically access. Most of the gold revenue is eaten up by the increase in the gold price over the past 12 months. The 12 month period Jan through Dec '12 and '13 will be the watch point in my opinion, especially when looking at quarter on quarter
Cash operating costs are kept nicely in check, but do they exclude capital in the cash cost, as with the company I work for we report on total NCE margin, which is a better relfection of all in costs
That is all my limited knowledge can add, but feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

No I do not, had some a while ago, then SGL. I now have Glencore, that, for some reason has been stable the last couple of days. Of course they do not have gold.

Port 1 (mine)
100% - GLN

Port 2 (Mine/my brother Darryl / Other brother Darry)
100% OCE

But damn, gold dropped to 1214, now back up to 1226. Rand at R10.38. I am such  a scary cat, if you catch the bottom, you can make some nice ching.

Hi jaDEB, u missing the one most important indicator of all of those you have listed. Good Luck in real life & competition bro

"After spending many years in Wall Street and after making and losing millions of dollars I want to tell you this: it never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It was always my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight!"

Yeah. Me too. Sometimes I sit and think and sometimes I just sits.
