HotCopper members voted for an interview with Spartan Resources (ASX:SPR) MD Simon Lawson. I asked Simon Lawson questions sent in by viewers, including his thoughts on potential future mining in the wake of Spartan’s Never Never and Dalgaranga gold discoveries and how that might be funded. I put to him your questions around the potential for Spartan to be subject of a takeover, as well as the possibility of taking over of other gold companies. In July the company updated its Mineral Resources Estimate for the Dalgaranga project to 2.48moz @ 4.79g/t – a 47% increase in ounces and 91% in grade.
