Shaw and Partners analyst Peter O'Connor speaks to Proactive London's Andrew Scott soon after the publication of his report on Newcrest Mining (ASX:NCM). Newcrest is in joint venture with Greatland Gold (LON:GGP) on the Havieron gold project in Western Australia. O'Connor says the drill programme is going 'exceptionally well' and that the requirement to release regular updates is a beneficial outcome for both companies. ''The results so far have been extraordinarily good'' he says. ''We see Havieron developing as an underground mine feeding the Telfer mill and it could be as much as 300,000 ounces per year.
