Hey all
Just a short post to explain why I wont be at the gold expo and why there may be a few delays in the future.

So as some will know, I am moving from Vic to Qld. This means moving all my machinery. On Friday I was loading a metal lathe into a shipping container and it decided it wanted a last minute hug.
Well lets just say that didnt end well. I lay trapped for around 1 1/2hrs with feed handle piercing my groin mm away from femoral artery. Was flown to the Alfred hospital but other than a large wound and crush injuries, Im ok.
Should be back working in a week or so (possibly longer according to doctors but I figure its only a flesh wound) albeit very slowly.

Best wishes it all heals 100%
Your meant to be on the front page news for a big Gold nugget instead!
