• Great Boulder Resources (ASX:GBR) lodges drill results, includes the phrase “bag of dicks”
  • Olympio sells gold project to famous prospector, Bill Richmond
  • Top precious metals stocks this week: Mako, Rox Resources, Metalicity, Southern Palladium

Our Gold Digger column wraps all the news driving ASX stocks with exposure to precious metals.

 

$35m capped gold explorer Great Boulder Resources (ASX:GBR) has released drill results via the ASX which include the phrase “50g bag of dicks lead collection fire assay” under sampling techniques.

Here it is:

 

“We were having a joke in the office in one of the drafts of that announcement and it unfortunately didn’t get removed before the final,” MD Andrew Paterson told Stockhead.

So not a new tool of the trade, then. It is drawing attention to the company’s results anyway, which included a lengthy 5m hit grading 7.42g/t from 18m at Saltbush, part of the flagship 668,000oz Side Well project in WA.

The maiden drill program at Saltbush “indicates a similar geological setting” to the 100koz @ 3.3g/t gold Ironbark deposit, the company says.

More assays are pending, with new drill program already underway.

 

Olympio sells gold project to famous prospector, Bill Richmond

Lithium focused junior Olympio Metals (ASX:OLY) will sell a bunch of non-core tenements near Halls Creek to famous prospector Bill Richmond for $220,000 cash.

Richmond had already lodged a plaint against one of these tenements E80/5025 (Dry Creek). Maybe he likes what he sees.

This 2013 yarn describes Richmond as a rich gypsy, rubbing shoulders with big names like Twiggy Forrest while living out of a ’91 Daihatsu van.

(We like to imagine it was the Hijet.)

Richmond also made headlines for his battle against copper miner Sandfire Resources (ASX:SFR) , who was stymied in its attempts to farm into the Red Bore project next door to the DeGrussa mine after the prospector exercised a pre-emptive right.

Richmond paid $1.65m cash and pledged to spend $1.5m on exploration over the ensuing 18-month period, shutting down Sandfire’s initial deal.

The miner would eventually buy out Richmond in October 2020 for a cash payment of $1.25m plus net smelter royalty; a loss-making deal for Richmond and a pointless one for Sandfire, which would shutter DeGrussa late 2022/ early 2023.
