    Extract from iii today on ggg.l (apparently this will go into a shares publication in London soon):

    "Buy aspiring gold miner GGG
    Resources (GGG:AIM) at 14p
    ahead of the first results from
    a A$2 million drilling programme
    which starts next week on the
    two million ounce Bullabulling gold
    project in Western Australia. The drill
    results will set the tone for GGG�s
    attempt to improve confidence in the
    quality and quantity of gold in the
    ground. Shares understands GGG is
    hoping to prove up at least four million
    ounces of gold in the long-term.
    Informal talks are underway with
    partner Auzex Resources (AZX:ASX),
    which owns 50% of Bullabulling, as to
    taking ownership of the mine into a
    single entity. Chairman Peter Ruxton
    says this could involve GGG becoming
    the full owner, seeking a merger, or
    even a third party taking control.
    A fund raising looks likely as GGG
    hopes to buy parts of a second-hand processing
    plant in the first half of 2011 at
    a cost of up to A$12 million. We expect
    any share placing to be oversubscribed
    given the size potential of Bullabulling.
    GGG has already seen strong support as
    investors mopped up a near-20% stake
    in the miner sold over the past
    few months by Obtala Resources
    (OBT:AIM). A sale of such size would
    normally depress a share price, but not
    in the case of GGG.
    We previously said to take profits at
    6.12p (Agenda, 19 Aug) after the shares
    jumped nearly 100% in a week as
    Bullabulling�s resource quadrupled. At
    the time, that looked a suitable exit
    point for a stock that had been
    depressed for the previous two years
    upon project failures in China. We suggested
    anyone still interested would
    soon find a cheaper entry point. It was
    the correct call as GGG subsequently
    fell 10% to 5.52p later that month as the
    hype died down. It has since risen to a
    high of 15p amid a higher gold price and
    project developments.
    Australian deposits have historically
    been economical only above gold grades
    of two grams per tonne and minimum
    annual processing rates of three million
    tonnes of ore. Bullabulling�s average
    grade is 1.5 grams per tonne, yet the
    rise in the gold price this year makes it
    viable to develop. GGG proposes to have
    a plant that processes at least three million
    tonnes of ore per year capacity and
    hopes to produce at least 120,000
    ounces of gold annually.
    Bullabulling used to be an operating
    mine but stopped in the 1990s when its
    owner was taken over and the processing
    plant was shipped to Ghana to support
    the acquirer�s existing operations.
    Another company took over
    Bullabulling but applied the wrong processing
    technique and recovered minimal
    amounts of gold. Auzex then
    secured the project but lacked the A$2
    million necessary to fund the acquisition.
    Ruxton, through a prior relationship
    with Auzex, was asked to help and
    suggested cash-rich GGG which eventually
    paid $2.5 million after counter-bidding
    a $2 million offer from a Hong
    Kong broker.
    Shares says: As long as the gold price
    stays strong, GGG looks to onto a
    winner. Buy. "
